Since I finished another semester of grad school on Monday and am now on winter break for work since Friday afternoon, I totally enjoyed Saturday. It was such a cold and windy day that I stayed inside watching Christmas movies and reading for pleasure (not class!). I'm so happy I don't have any more school work or even work tomorrow. Yesterday, I also finally planned out what I would be making for Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day dinner. I'll talk about that more in another post. It is already 10:15 pm here so I'm going to keep this short :-p
This morning I woke up at 7. I really wanted to get a little more rest but I was more determined to get Christmas food and gift shopping done before the stores got too crowded. Getting up early definitely paid off, the stores weren't bad at all. Within 3 hours and 15 minutes I went to Wegman's, Marshall's, Kohl's, Target, Barnes and Noble, and stopped at the gas station.
The rest of the day was spent mostly relaxing. I also got some fresh air with my dog; we took a quick walk around the neighborhood. Later I made a quick dinner. It was very festive looking which I totally didn't even plan. This isn't a great photo, I used my iphone. But in person the sauce looked much redder and you could see the green broccoli much better.
Tomorrow my mom and I plan on starting our day with a workout at Jazzercise while my dad and brother spend some quality time going to see a movie in the theaters; their big movie fans. After Jazzercise, my mom and I will be watching lots of Christmas movies while we cook dinner for Christmas Eve until my dad and brother get back. The Grinch, The Polar Express, and A Christmas Story are all movies I love to watch every year and haven't watched yet. I also need to wrap all the gifts I bought. Yeah, totally waited last minute with that. Then the rest of the night will be spent with the whole family. I love this holiday!
Happy Sunday!
