Christmas was a mixed bag this year. Overindulgence gets old and a lot less fun when it's overindulged too. Split-up family was a bit melancholy. But, the festivities turned out well. Meals got an A+ from the family. Had some holiday fun with movies and laughter. We went to a great Christmas variety concert at a local venue (we've been dying to try -- it didn't disappoint). Hubby hit the gift-giving out of the park this year (way too much, but his decision, not mine lol). Overall, it was a good Christmas. Either way, it's over now and I'm glad.
We never do much for New Years. Usually, I work the holiday and by the time it comes around I'm sick of big celebrations, too much cooking and too much eating. Over the years we've done a few celebrations -- most of which ended up being duds. We've had a couple of casual nights with friends that were fun, but going out or big parties is a big NO for us party-poopers.
So for us, the holidays are finished (minus the herculean task of un-decorating!!!).
I started my ass-in-gear on Christmas day. I had enough. I thought I might explode from all the food, desserts, drinks, etc. I'm already feeling better. Lots more on all that this week.
I slept in late this morning since we have no little foster dog to let out. Time to get moving on my day. Here are a few more pictures of my weekend before I go :-)
