Celebrating christmas

Woke up to Frodo pawing my face as usual. Realized Precious left me a gift, he vomited on my comforter. Frodo's nose in my face was his gift to me. Kitties got cat toys and cat treats from Santa and a can of tuna from me. I got a candy cane from Santa, I'm happy.

My Mom arrived an hour early than I said to come, to help prepare food. Very glad she did. Then after my brother showed up my Mom goes through the narrow aisle beside the dining room table instead of wide aisle, trips over a chair leg and goes kerplunk hitting her head of the wall and knocking over figurines on a display case. Brother picked Mom up off the floor and I got an ice pack. Asked her if we need the emergency room. No, just in pain. Ok, but no sleeping or we will call 911. She stayed awake, others slept.

Had lovely xmas dinner with too much food. Got dishes in dishwasher and then opened gifts. Then it was need a screwdriver, need scissors, need batteries, open this aunt Jordan, putting the toliet lid down to keep Precious out of toliet, turning bathroom and bedroom lights off, and I neglected to turn on the dishwasher until mid afternoon. Even worse, left all the food out. Sorry I was heavily distracted getting things, it didn't occur to me. And for record no one else thought of putting the food away either. Next time food is put away and dishwasher turned on before presents.

Niece and nephew were very eager to open presents. So eager they almost opened other people's presents, but I made them give the gift to the proper person. Nephew started unwrapping before they all were sorted so made him stop and sort out the gifts first. Sister's cat gift was given to my brother-in-law to open. One for a faraway niece (I have 4 nieces and 1 nephew) remains wrapped under the tree. Will give to her Saturday.

Brother from Fairfield is spending the night and leaving tomorrow. Made cinnamon rolls for our breakfast. Well hope you al had a wondeful Christmas.
