To anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or any other major winter holiday... happy Yule/Winter Solstice! whee
We're having our celebration today, since most of my family (except mom's parents and brother) are either pagan or atheist. We're gonna be going to my grandparents' (dad's side) house shortly; mom will be preparing the meal there. There's gonna be an epically tasty standing rib roast among other heavenly foods... emotion_drool
As for gifts, so far I've received:
*$1,000 from my grandfather (mom's side) O_O
*A slow cooker from mom (I asked for this)
*A kitchen knife set + cutting boards + towels from my parents (also asked for these)
*A decorative box with several aromatherapy oils inside from dad
*A necklace from one of my sorority sisters
*A bottle of awesome smelling lotion from another one of my sorority sisters
*And a little goodie bag full of candy and fudge and a lotto ticket from my manager
EDIT: Annnd more!
*$100 from my aunt and uncle
*A really awesome red & black cloak from my grandmother
*$200 from my grandfather
*A fuzzy blue vest from my boyfriend's family
*And a new pair of fluffy pajamas from my other aunt.
I feel so spoiled~ heart

happy solstice,
I had Christmas dinner with my boyfriends family.
I got a vegetarian cookbook, and socks from my boyfriends parents.
I also go an IOU from my boyfriend for a pair of gloves. He's going to get them on his family vacation.

Happy Winter Solstice to you too!
My friend had her birthday party yesterday, so I got to spend the day hanging with friends while playing various tabletop and video games. It was a lot of fun being able to relax and have fun without worrying about work.

That's a nice haul! Lucky. I've gotten $30 worth of Amazon giftcards and $75 in Visa Gift cards. My Christmas presents are a lot smaller nowadays because my mom usually spends so much money on the kids. Which I'm completely okay with. I'd rather they get a big Christmas and me get something small.
Plus she wrapped all their presents and I have no idea what she got so I'm probably as excited for them as they are haha.
