Favourite present received

[Wild_Honey_66]

My family lost our source of income the day before Thanksgiving, so it has been a make-do sort of Christmas this year.

My favorite gift was a tagboard cut-out of a clamshell, from my 5yo daughter. I was supposed to guess what color pearl was *inside.*

The right answer, spoken in hushed tones, with eyes as big as plates:

"Rainbow." Of course.

Christmas is delayed at the thør household due to illness and the fact that our grand daughter and her parents are visiting her other grandparents on the other end of the country. Still, since it's Christmas day, and I had steak to grill. I was allowed to open a package containing some coffee rub and a digital meat thermometer. BTW, the rib steak was cooked perfectly medium rare.

Very small Christmas, but every gift had special meaning.

One of my best friends called me today to tell me she's getting married. Then she asked me to be her matron of honor!! It was a terrific Christmas present!

Being called a...matron...is an honor?

Being called a...matron...is an honor?

Seeing as how I AM married, I can't very well be her maid of honor. it's more a matter of semantics.

Wait, you are married?

Yes, you must have blocked any memory of my mention of the hubs.


You wouldn't want an old matron anyway.

Denial is bliss.

I got a telescope.

My favorite homemade one was a mason jar with glue then glitter that stuck to the walls with a tea light inside. It glowed beautifully.

My favorite this year was a new Leatherman. I dropped the last one about 85 feet. I only mentioned it in passing to the boss because usually it is somewhere on the ground when you get there and not even a bent one was to be found.

I had covered a job for him off the books so he had the time to travel back to see family for thanksgiving. He slipped me some cash for that, though. We don't normally exchange gifts and this one was nice than the one I lost. I am like a boyscout at Christmas playing with it today.

I chuckled

I chuckled

It wasn't a joke.....

 

[Bidin~Time]

It wasn't a joke.....

I know!! that's what made it funny to me.

I hope you've had a great day.

 

[Bidin~Time]

I hope you've had a great day.

I have, thank you.

I hope you did too.

I have, thank you.

I hope you did too.

It was a nice day. Thank you.

Funny man.

I haven't even taken it out of the box yet. I'm reading the instruction book on how it's all computerized and stuff. Apparently I can log in what I want to see and it will automatically point to it.

Will def have to navigate and lock onto 'thor's' when I can figure it out.

No way could I pick just one.

The man gave me a coffee maker I've been eyeing for months. Now I can brew a pot or a single cup at a time, and I can use ground coffee or K-cups. Score.

He also let me pick several deliciously naughty delights from our favorite boutique. I chose a silicone collar and leash set, a pair of matching cuffs, and my first ball gag.

His sisters wear matching Alex and Ani charm bracelets. They presented me with a set of my own, with two starter charms, one of which was inscribed 'Sister.' I cried. A lot.

Aaaand, my parents cancelled their beach trip to drive north to spend today with us. We went out for Chinese food and drove them around the city to look at Christmas lights.

I truly think it was the best Christmas of my life.

Fantastic, Farrah.
