The Day After Christmas

I had a nice, peaceful day on Christmas watching movies and doing puzzles. Today, I met Michael and his dad and stepmother at Longhorn Steakhouse for lunch. They treated me for my birthday, and we had a very nice time eating and chatting.

Michael’s dad gave me a couple of cross-stitched items that he found in his mother’s things. One was a Christmas stocking she made for me when Bob & I got married, and the other was a little angel I had made for her one year. I was so happy to get them as they bring back fond memories.

After lunch, Michael and I came home and opened stockings and exchanged gifts. I got myself a new mouse mat, a cross stitch kit, and some puzzles. Michael got me two puzzles – one for Christmas and one for birthday, and he also filled my stocking.

This has been such a nice Christmas. I am thankful for friends and family and for the ability to enjoy my hobbies.
