I gave my hubby his present around 6a......ahem.... Then I gave him some stocking stuffers. We're not doing actual presents this year because it took all I had in my power to have a TREE in the house this year. And it took everything in my power to move it from the corner where it was hidden into a more viewable space. So I told him not to get me a present since it wouldn't mean anything to him anyway. He's at work...BAAAAHUMBUG! (he's a recently faded jw who doesnt *hate* xmas but certainly doesnt like it yet either). I made some white chocolate chip cookies that taste like the ones you get at Subway (minus the nuts). YUM! And I'm going to make a huge salad....I made some candied pecans for it yesterday but used waxed paper instead of parchament paper.....who knew there was a difference?! Anyway, the wax paper melted into the pecans so I googled it and its *OK* for people to *occasionally* eat waxed paper. lol.
We (me & hubby) will be celebrating Christmas with a family that used to go to our same KH (the dad was an elder and one of the daughters regularly pioneered for years). They all left the jw's a little over a year ago. We were asked to bring some extra chairs, but the only ones I could think of were some old bookstudy chairs stashed at my parents house, which are now in the back of my car.
All I have to say is: WHOODATHUNKIT....I would've never imagined this scenario ten years ago. I'm kind of emotional because I'm thankful to spend Christmas with them Oh, and BlueCanary from here will be near my town this weekend so we are going to meetup, play some pool and eat lots of pizza on Sunday
MERRY CHRISTMAS! (what are YOUR plans?)
