crazychicknladyChristmas Eve day we had our normal Gaming Group meetup at the gaming store. Given the cold and rain, and it being the day before Christmas, the lower turnout wasn't a shock. We did get to hang out with a couple of friends who are trying school this year, but are currently on Winter break. We also had our friend K, from out of state, make an appearance, since her family came out this way for the holidays.
Later, after other gaming stores were visited and pretty dice were aquired, it was time for the baking. S and I made 3 pies: pumpkin, apple, and keyless lime. It felt oddly uneventful this time around, give how much work Thanksgiving pies ended up being with all the pumpkin to bake and freeze.
Per the usual, H had to work, so we opened our one present each, late, after she got home. C has been sick since Saturday*, so getting him to bed at a reasonable hour Christmas Eve was not a problem for once. All my kids are night owls and stay up way later than your average kid, so I've made a habit of putting up the stockings Christmas morning before they wake up, rather than after they fall asleep. I did prep them and gave the horse ornaments their candy canes before I went to bed.
*I'm pretty sure he finally caught whatever was working it's way through the gaming group, during our Friday park day.
ETA: I post through a different journal than livejournal, that crossposts to livejournal for me. I have belatedly realized this post never made it across the void. Trying again a little over a month late to the party.
