C made out quite nicely this Christmas, even though there won't be anything under the tree... (actually, we didn't do a tree this year) She got new clothes for her new job, 3 new tires to get her safely to that new job & Patriot tickets! There were other, smaller gifts associated with the mentioned gifts, so she has no reason to complain this year!
B & I are giving each other the gift of being with Carlotta & her family this Christmas break. OK, technically, he did most of the working to earn enough $$ & hotel points so its really a gift from/to himself, but I thought of it... so that counts!

Carlotta has asked Santa to find a way to get us down to VA. She believes we cannot get the time away from work, not enough money or can't find a hotel room. Her parents haven't told her that we had planned on coming down... so now we can help Santa surprise her!
On Christmas morning, she/we will receive a note from Santa telling us he's arranged time off from work for us as well as finding a hotel room, with a pool, for the whole Christmas break! He will say in the note that we can leave for VA in the morning, December 26th! We will discover this gift together thanks to modern technology of FaceTime! I'm so excited that she still believes in Santa!
Because of jobs, doctor appointments (yes, even on Christmas Eve!) & our very, long drive, we are sticking at home this Christmas. Some family members are disappointed because they haven't seen us in a few holidays. I'm too excited to spend time with Carlotta to think about that anymore!
Merry Christmas to anyone who might check out my blog. I do not have as exciting a life as I once did, & that is just fine with me!
