My place is a mess from bringing home gifts and wrapping gifts. I think I am having family over for dinner Wednesday!! I'm going to have to hustle my buns. Christmas was a pleasant day. I met up with my family for dim sum...our wait was *only* an hour long even though we had reservations. Then I swung back home and picked up some stuff with my cousin, and headed back to my family's for an afternoon of cooking. I caught a bit of some World Junior hockey; Canada won, of course :D Then I napped and cooked up some peas. People just don't seem too crazy about my peas, and they're tasty!! Sliced celery and mushrooms cooked in with chicken bouillon, butter, and curry powder!! Some family friends came by for dinner, too. There was a whole mishmash of food: roast beef, hai nan chicken, veggies, peas, duck with lotus root, potato salad, tomato-fish broth soup thingee, and rice. We had some mango and chocolate cheesecake and a some more cake for dessert. After the friends left (I just might actually get the family friend to check out the feng shui of my place!!), we unwrapped gifts. As usual, the event was videotaped. I hadn't used my dv cm all year, and I'd pretty much forgotten how to use it :shock: I got a Juicy Couture outfit, a sea salt and pepper mill (good thing I returned the one I bought last week!), some placemats, a scarf, a clock, an M&Ms photo holder, a flour sifter, clinque moisturizer, Juicy tube, stain remover, and some fleece lined rubber gloves for Christmas this year. After the gift unwrapping, my cousin and I watched some Gotti specials. It was quite an entertaining hour. Christmas with the Gottis was funny. Then I went home. It was strange going home...I am used to going to bed without having to drive somewhere after Christmas. Last night I also realised I used to spend most of my Christmases in Hong Kong. I had forgotten that. We visited every year pretty much when I was in elementary and high school. While I was puttering around getting ready for bed, I noticed the P Man had sent me a text message...we texted for a bit. I felt bad that he spent Christmas alone. But I think he partly wanted it that way. He says he has a gift for me but would not tell me what it is. We'll see if I get it...if he wanted to give it to me, it would have been here by now. He forgot to bring it over last night. Tonight I'm having a turkey dinner at Paula's family's. I should bring something over. Maybe I can find a floral arrangement. |
