Yesterday my family celebrated Christmas together and it was one of the best holidays we've ever had! It was a wonderful day and it began with opening presents. I was given strict instructions to be at my parents' house at 8:00 am and, of course, when I got there we still had to wait for Sean and Tashena!
According to tradition we all take turns opening one present at a time, starting with the youngest (Sean) and working our way to the oldest (my Mom). It is so much fun watching everyone open their presents, especially Sean and Tashena.
Tashena's big presents were some white Nike shoes to match the red ones that she got for her birthday (she needs shoes to match her home and away basketball uniforms), a backpack for all of her athletic gear, the nicest water bottle that I have ever seen, a hoodie, an electric blanket, and a bunch of smaller items.
Sean has lots of different gaming platforms and he got a bunch of new games for each of them. He was so happy and he spent the rest of the day either downloading or playing games.
I got a new camera, AirPods, Seasons 1-3 of Mr. Robot on DVD (because I am a little bit obsessed with Rami Malek), the companion book and the soundtrack to Bohemian Rhapsody (because I am really obsessed with this movie), an initial necklace, and a new Kyle Korver jersey!
After opening presents, Marilyn and I went to see Mary Poppins Returns which was just delightful once again. In the evening we had a wonderful dinner and then played another epic game of Shanghai rummy. It was honestly the best day ever and I am so glad that I got to celebrate with my family!
