Merry Day-After-Christmas
And it's over. Christmas is officially over. I'm back at work today, and I have to admit, this whole working the week after Christmas thing feels a little like everyone has gone on summer vacation, and I have summer school. Don't get me wrong. I'm very thankful that I have a job, and making money is sweet. But so is lazying around and playing with the new camera that Brandon and I gave ourselves for Christmas.
Speaking of gifts, I suppose I'll do a short rundown of the goodies we got one another this year. Brandon gave me The Best Short Stories of Theodore Dreiser, Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs, Transatlanticism and The Photo Album by Death Cab for Cutie, and the Robin Hood dvd (my sister and I watched Robin Hood a gajillion times when we were little).
I gave Brandon The Theology of Paul the Apostle by James Dunn, The Beatles' White Album (the only Beatles album that he lacked), a laser thingy that helps measure straight lines (if you know Brandon, you know that he loves playing w/ gadgets like that) and a few other things. That I don't want to say. Okay fine, I got him Talladega Nights, but he asked for it. That boy has a weakness for movies that I'm embarrassed to own. Hehe.
So anyway, Christmas rocked. On Christmas Eve we spent time with my family and watched A Christmas Story. And then on Christmas day we headed back to Atlanta, stopping in Columbus to eat Chinese food, in Christmas Story fashion. Except there weren't any Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra's. Anyway, I hope everyone else had a great Christmas, too. Yay for holidays, even when they seem short.
