"Strings of street lights, even stop lights
blink of bright red an' green
as the shoppers rush home with their treasures! "
Sounds all Pretty, but the truth is that when the shoppers rush home with their treasures they will step all over you... Once again I found myself running through the mall on Christmas Eve (I did my shopping back in November, this time it was Lysania who forgot a thing or two and since she is stranded without a car... long story, let's say a Hummer decided to back up and park right on top Mechito Benz )I had to cover all duties. Eduardo decided to endure installing blinds instead of escorting his wife to last minutes Christmas shopping.
Note on the side, Lysania & Eduardo just moved into their brand new house in the middle of nowhere (literally their house is the only one in their street) Nice little subdivision with enough wilderness to be surprised by bunnies hopping around their lawn and stuff like that. I've got a room there, since I'm kind of a weekend gypsy anyway. Room is wonderful, all Victorian style. I promised not to paint any of the walls midnight black- keep it Victorian, don't slip into Gothic. I'll be spending this week in their house since TJ Green (my car) is serving duties for Mechito Benz because Lysania refuses to drive Bertha (the Ford Explorer)- yes we are people with lots of time in our hands naming cars...
Anyways, went to the mall under false pretenses (Lysania wanting to buy something for Lysandra's baby) ended up running through all home decor stores to find something to fill the "hole in the wall" in her living room . Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Got back with nice little dress and no filing for the hole. Took shower, dressed in a hurry.
Went to Candle Light Vigil at church. The vigil lasted an hour, which doesn't qualify it as a Vigil and guaranteed my presence. Live Manger Scene, baby Jesus was ready for his close up. Good, after that Baby Jesus starts wailing about with all his little lungs, not to Godly, very real, though.
Ran from church to Christmas party at home. Lined everyone on a single file. Gave out kisses. Hello to people I haven't seen yet, although they arrived from the Island at least 7 days ago. All cool. Threw gifts under the Christmas Tree. Started socializing. Kendra didn't want anyone to socialize until after the presents were opened. Opened presents at midnight. All kinds of stuff with one practical joke here and there. And and all it was good, worth having 15 people under one roof. Lots of laughs, lots of love, all stress gone. In fact it was a nice little Christmas .
