oh, christmas eve. i managed to convince my mom to let me stay home and snooze while everyone else went to church, but when i saw my daddy in his suit and christmas tie, i couldn’t just stay home on the couch in my sweatpants! so i threw an outfit together in fifteen minutes, which included the beautiful slender shoes with the heel and the little buckle on the side. they are tough to hold on to, they hurt my ankles and they slow me down, but they are so cute.
back in my pajamas after church, i ate peanut butter cookies and filled william’s stocking. next year my mom says we have to buy presents for each others’ stockings, which sounds fun to me. i’m going to be an excellent stocking stuffer-er. maggie’s stocking is somewhat empty this year. peculier! mom revealed that she has nothing to give to the dog, even though my sweet girl picked out her own gifts for everyone else! thank goodness i found the chuck-it for my mom and maggie.
yesterday, mom and i had a fight, so we played scrabble. even though she was winning, when she was suddenly inspired to spell out anti-christmas words and phrases, she said, “forget this, let’s do something fun!” and flipped over the board. i guess we both felt better after spelling out “grouch,” “stinkinxmas,” “quityowhining” and “obiteme.” we left it out for dad to see when he got home. it’s a miracle they even let us in that church tonight.
quote of the day: “what do you call people who are afraid of santa claus? claustrophobic.”
