elucrehProbably all of you got to see this on various boards...so this part of the entry is especially for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
myf. Merry, merry, merry Christmas and all the best! I wish you all new chapters from your favorite authors, active muses, and the happiest fandom lives you can lead!
I love my extended family. All of us, working together, tolerating a toddling child or two, singing and listening to the old, old story...I have got to get Poppy singing "Birthday of a King" recorded. I always want to be able to remember it...it's the true spirit of Christmas to me, it always will be, the whole meaning of it just bound up in the sounds...
Joey was highly amused at my gift. John loved his. Mom was wowed. Anna will adore me forever. I think that Dad recognised my efforts and understood what I meant by them.
I got the absolute BEST pyjamas in the whole wide wonderful world!!! They're navy, but textured navy, with that old-fashioned kind of suns/moons/stars all over them, silky and soft on the outside and brushed warm on the inside. Was in them for the presentation of:
Only other truly noteworthy gift, from Tyler. That boy is so adorable. He showed up with a single rose and made me let him take a picture of me with it (in the aforementioned PJs (and I've never been so thankful for THAT tradition) with my hair in slept-on braids and no makeup). He's doing it for all "the women in his life"--his mom, sisters, and the girls in the group. Tell me he won't make the best spouse-creature if he keeps it up. (Oh, don't I wish that a)Amy was home today and b)I could see her face when he showed up at her door and handed her a rose.)
Other than that, some jewelry, a lamp, couple DVDs (how CAN it be that I did not get PotC? *dies* Ah, well), Discman which promises to play my burned CDs (YES!!)...but nothing special.
I love Indiscreet. It is SO good. Second-best Cary Grant movie in existence. (Speaking of which, what on EARTH happened to my copy of That Touch of Mink?) I was watching it w/ Jen in post-breakfast rest time.
As my present to me and my online friends, am catching up on all the boards I've been neglecting. Love you all! Later!

never seen Indiscreet...
Tyler sounds adorable :D my friend Ammon gave roses to all us girls for Christmas one year, and then Gabe felt like he had to one-up that, so he gave us one for V-day :D so cute, don't know about the motives, but it sure makes a girl (esp. a single one) special, to have such good friends :D but why was Amy not at home for Christmas??
woohoo! Discman! that's awesome :)
and yay for wonderful PJ's!! ;D
