Friday December 24th:
- unexpectedly getting Chandler for Christmas Eve (although I'm NOT thankful Chris was sick)
- shopping for stocking stuffers
- decorating Christmas cookies
- having a boyfriend who cares less about things than he does memories on our first Christmas
- my car once again having power steering (thanks to Joey's dad!)
- spending the evening with Joey's parents
- hunting games for the Wii providing a night of fun
- watching Chandler open his stocking
- homemade hot chocolate
- watching Love Actually while wrapping Christmas presents with Joey
- the fact that Joey makes doing things (like wrapping presents) fun and balances out my ridiculous need to make everything "perfect"
Saturday December 25th:
- having an excited little boy jump on me and Joey at 8 in the morning because it's Christmas day
- waking up on Christmas morning next to Joey
- SNOW - it was a somewhat white Christmas!
- going to Chris's apartment to open presents as a family
- spending Christmas with Joey's family...because they are all such wonderful people and have been so incredibly warm and welcoming to me and Chandler. I've spent my entire life wanting to be part of a family like his...and now I am. It's hard for me to fully express how thankful I am...
- all the wonderful gifts I received this year
the fact that Christmas makes it acceptable to eat pie for dinner- taking an afternoon nap with Joey on our new, impossibly comfortable bedding
- Heather and Howard, two of the greatest friends I could ever ask for
- Joey falling asleep on the couch with his head on my lap
- starting to watch Gran Torino on HBO as Joey slept, falling asleep myself, both of us waking up to Alien Sex Invaders III, Joey wondering what exactly I was watching, and knowing that I will FOREVER be teased for watching porn as he slept (even though I wasn't) - on our first Christmas together. Damn you, Clint Eastwood!!!
What a terrific Christmas...I can't wait to see what the new year will bring! Happy Holidays, friends!!!
Alien Sex Invaders III!? You mean to tell me that HBO ran an Alien Sex Invader marathon and nobody bothered to call and tel me? FOR SHAME!!!!!!!!!!
