Twas a damn good Christmas amazingly enough. Better than I had anticipated or expected. I got up around 6 or 7 and let the kid sleep until almost 8. We moved slowly and opened presents. I was pleasantly surprised at the gifts I got that I actually knew nothing about. From X1's brother I got a nice sweater, from N, some movies and two really nice absinthe advertising prints, and from the kid? Tron the video game! I don't know how she was able to afford it (well, yes I do, grandma had to have helped her) but it was a nice gift that I honestly did not expect. Pretty damn cool. After we opened gifts I cracked open the mini-donut maker I got for myself. Made some basic little donuts. Not too shabby. Pretty darn good powdered sugar and cinnamon donuts. Was fun. One batch of dough makes about 36 donuts. It's a little time consuming (4 minutes for six donuts so it took about an hour to make all of them) but fun and tasty. We then got ready to go over to her grandmother's house. We were there from about 12:30 to 3. Headed home, rested a while and then decided to have Chinese food for dinner. I know, I took out game hens, but I just didn't feel like cooking. Chinese was much more fun anyway. Nothing like being the oddballs at a chinese restaurant on Christmas night.  Us, the Jews, and the random Chinese people. Fun. Came home, watched one of the movies N sent me - Queen of the Damned - and then hit bed. We are heading over to MY grandmother's house this morning. She is 81, a racist, and a conspiracy theorist. Obama is a crazy Muslim who is going to enslave us all in his Socialist world according to her. I don't want to be there too long because seriously this woman drives me nuts, but it's the right thing to do and I will do it to make everyone happy. Other than that, no big plans. Hopefully another slow day before I have to work again tomorrow.
