Christmas morning was standard. Open prezzies, fix breakfast, just kick back and enjoy. Normally, I then get up and start cooking the Christmas dinner, so I never really get to rest.
Since we were having ham, we decided to eat late and do something else first. We opted to go to the movies. Went at 1:00 for 1:45 show. HUGE line, pouring rain. I got soaked but it was fun. Marley and Me was sold out for the day. Okay, we both like Will Smith a lot, so 7 Pounds it is. Rats, it already had started, so we got tiks for the 4:15 show. So, there wasn't enough time to cook the food and eat. We ended up just grazing. Worked like a charm! I'll cook the Xmas dinner later this week and just take some of the food to daughter and her roomie so they can eat it whenever.
Normally, we spend Christmas night watching TV. Last night, we drove around and looked at the Christmas lights. Of course, some houses were dark because they weren't home but it was still pretty and fun. On the way home, we decided we were making a new Christmas tradition in Florida. No big meal on Christmas day, just leftovers from Christmas Eve, a movie and then look at lights. We can both scout ahead a little so that we can show each other a house or two we think is really special, but that's it. It really was a nice, relaxful day.
Oh, in case you're wondering, 7 Pounds is a great movie but bring lots of tissue. You'll need them. Most of the theater was crying by the time it was over. Do not let anyone tell you what the plot is or what happens. This is a movie you have to see blind so to speak.
