Yesterday, Christmas Eve, I worked from noon to five and then went home to find several packages freshly arrived and ready for wrapping. While I worked on the gifts, Hannah and my cousin made chocolate chip pancakes from scratch which were delicious. After dinner we went on a drive around Coeurd'Alene to see the lights near the boardwalk and around Sherman. On the Dike Road we pulled over and made our way down to the cold lakeside. It was a nice night, cold and crisp, and the Marina was lit up like the Vegas Strip. We were rather eager to get back home and get warm after all of our running around. The movie pick for the evening was 'Event Horizon' and then 'Land of the Dead.'
My plans to stay up late and wake the family at 4 am for Christmas Morning shenanigans were foiled by a nice deep sleep which didn't let up till about eight or so. We rose slowly and stiffly (most of us having slept on various pieces of furniture) and dug into the stockings. I think that everyone was pleased with their Christmas swag. A few of the fun and things that I received: a Loki collectible Bobble head, an awesome velvet wall scroll map of Germany, a Fluttershy brushable from MLP, a vintage crystal decanter, and an 8 gig bullet shaped flash drive.
