Happy Yule!
Dec. 21st, 2009 08:38 pmThe great christmas white-elephant exchange with my dad's family went off like an absolute dream. ( And the rest of the day was pretty damn good too )
And as the night ended, my dad drove me to meet my mom about halfway in between Sacramento & the little town she lives in - which was the old 'hand off the daughter at the end of the weekend' routine we did when I was growing up. More nostalgic than I've been in a long time on a car ride, even if we did meet at a different place and my mom was early to the pick up spot.
Today, however, there was much christmas shopping. I'm not even calling it last minute since it's the only christmas shopping I've done. It was, however, quite productive and quite pleasing to run aroudn the downtown of our little town with my mom, in the rain, checking out the shops and talking to the shop keepers and basically having ourselves a grand time.
Tomorrow we'll be visiting with one of my highschool teachers, doing a christmas lunch, and finally after almost a week I'll be flying home and bringing my mom with me. Can't wait to be back, even if this little break from los angeles life has been so good.
