This sunday will be the biggest and most stressful day of they year in my family. It is the anual Christmas gathering. I can't wait. I hve a nephew who is allways sucked into video games so I got him a special present. I got him a puzzle box with 2 drawers. In the little and easiest one to open I put a quarter with a note that it is a good start, but keep going. In the second drewer i put his real present. It probably will not take him long to open it, because his dad told me after I bought it that his moms side of the family has got puzzle boxes for him before.
My sister-in-law is hosting this year. I feel sorry for her she herself has not been well this year. I offered to help but she did not take me up on it. I have a feeling she thinks it will be easier with her mom and my neice helping. She knows my neice and I sometimes but heads . Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my niece sooooooooooooo much she is the closest thing I will ever have to a child of my own. Thing is we are very much alike in many ways. That is what makes for the friction from time to time.
I am just hoping the snow is not too deep. We are having the party at my sisters in the mountains, and they are clling for some snow that morning. If it snows much I will need to ware my boots and take something else to put on my feet when we get inside, because my boots are really warm.
I have a hunch I know what my sister and my nephew got tme for Christmas, because my sister and my nephews wife were asking a lot of questions about a couple things. I think they may be going to get me them.
What is odd this year is with Christmas only about a week away I still have only gotten 5 Christmas cards. There is one that is usually here by this time that has not shown. I figure my realitives will save their cards for the gathering and save the postage. lol Did I mention some of my realitives are on the frugal side lol?
If we can get through it with out my sisters girls fighting with each other or the youngest one and I getting into a fight, the event should be a great time. I have had my shopping done for weeks. I start early in the year, so by the time Christmas gets here I can relax when many others are stressed out.
All I have to do now is deside what I am going to ware and which camera I am taking with me. There is a ppv on that night so in way I hope to get home before it is too late. If I have it figured right I shoud not miss more then half of it. My one nephew has a long way to travle to get home and 7 of my nieces and nephews have school the next day. Also my oldest niece is a teacher so she does too lol. I am thinking about everyone will be clearing out no later the 9 pm.
