Dec. 24th, 2003 08:31 amI bought puppy slippers (brown terry cloth flipflops with stuffed dogs heads on top) for myself while I was on a gift shopping trip. They are wonderful and soft and nice to rub my ancles against. And they have generally amused everyone who saw them. They've been sort of a high point of the last few days.
Tonight I'm going to my ex-uncle's Christmas Eve gathering. I'd far rather go to my stepmother's family's Christmas Eve party, where they actually sit around and sing carols, but it was a negotiated point between my mother and father in exchange for my mother's willingness to let me fly on Christmas Day (it's the cheapest day of the holidays to fly). I could technically have backed out, but it would have pissed my mother off and generally that's a bad idea.
The next day, early morning present opening and then Dad and I are leaving for Miami, where we will be until the 29th.
