And all through the house, was the sound of the keyboards as I geeked with my spouse!
Yes, it's Boxing Day and we are having a nice quiet geeky morning, gaming and catching up on newsgroups and blogs... I need to re-find all my blogs because I got a new (hand me down but still kickass) computer and of course haven't transferred all my files and stuff over yet!
The holidays so far have been lovely. Christmas Eve day I played hooky from work (the roads were bad, Peter didn't want me driving so I took the half-day off) and we had a nice quiet day of naps and knitting and baking the annual fruitcake! Finished Yumi's new hat just in the nick of time, as Christmas Eve we spent with the Bundy&Kid household, feasting (and feasting) on yummy nibblies and enjoying pleasant conversation and some good laughs. Home to bed early, and to all a good night.
Christmas Day we were up at the crack of dark again and immediately logged in to WoW to get our Winter's Veil presents from Greatfather Winter! So much fun to get all these neat virtual toys, snowball fights and rocket car races in the city... good silliness to kick off the day. Then out to Mom & Dad's (with a Starbucks stop of course), for present-ing and turkey-ing and all. Lots of laughs over gifts given and received - everyone was pleased and spoiled rotten as usual! I was particularly happy that my niece was THRILLED with a top we got for her - $3 at Value Village and she looks like a million bucks in it! I think everyone got what they asked for - I know I did - both the practical and the indulgent. Got some "do not spend on bills" money which is going straight to the big warehouse yarn sale tomorrow!
Today we are going to do some house chores (funny how things can pile up in a hurry when you're preparing for the holidays) and then out to Peter's brother & sister-in-law's for Boxing Day dinner. Mmm she makes an amazing ham! Then the whole weekend to goof off in before I go back to work on Monday (which will also involve some goofing off I'm sure, but what the heck).
I started a new pair of socks for Peter yesterday after the gift opening; the Freshisle Fibers Hunter's Socks in Marian's Suffolk Wool - they will be safety orange with black stripe, heel and toes. Perfect work socks! Hope to get some pictures up soon. I hope you and yours are also having a wonderful and relaxing holiday time!
