My Christmas..

[arontius]

.....I had a wonderful Christmas over at the beloved Laurellen's house. I feel spoiled rotten as I received more Christmas presents this year than I have the previous five years combined. It was also the most amazing experience watching Rhys open up presents and seeing the excitement on his face when ripping open the Christmas wrapping and seeing what Santa and others gave to him this year.

.....Between Laurellen, myself and some other relatives we managed to get everything Rhys wanted on his Santa list. The one and only thing that we did not get was a robotic insect, and we've got that one covered as well. My mother is going to buy that one and give it to him at Twelfth Night. She is so excited about the whole thing. She wished for grandkids of her own a long time ago and had about given up on me or my brother giving them to her. Now she is thinking that she might have a grandson to spoil with presents. :-)

.....The User Pic. is of a box that Rhys made just for me as a Christmas present. He took a lot of time selecting the beads and building each side of the box. It was his special gift to me. I think that I'll take it to work and put it on a prominent place on my desk. :-)

.....The beloved Laurellen made me a 'Man-Bag' of my very own, like Cedric's. It is a felted wool bag and when done will have separate pockets inside and will make an excellent storage case for my gemshorn and its tools and music.

.....I also received a whole stack of stuffed dragons that I think will look great in the RV. I'll have to post a picture of them all. They look way cool. Laurellen also found me a couple of excellent reference source books for the language of Old English. I'd seen them both on Amazon before and had wanted to get them for a while. Laurellen knew how much I would like them and had them waiting for me underneath the tree. :-)

.....I guess that several people noticed how much more sensitive I am to the cold weather this year as compared to when I weighed a lot more. I received a couple of fleece wraps and blankets. :-) They have already been put to use. :-) Master Ralg made a bottle stopped of a lathe-turned hardwood that is way cool. It already is planted in my favorite bottle of Don Julio. :-)

.....The beloved Laurellen also spoiled me with a sumptuous Christmas dinner that included special treats made just for me! Her sugar-free pumpkin pie is absolutely the bestest in the whole world! :-)

.....Merouda joined us for dinner as well. It was good to see her out and about. Laurellen, Rhys and I all picked her up a present each for her. I hope that she liked them. :-)

.....I had to come back home today to feed Tia. Plus I promised that I would take my Mom out shopping today, which I did. But I find myself missing Tamm very much this evening and wishing that I were over at her house instead of here. Sigh! Seattle is just too far away from Bremerton! Can't wait until I get back over there. I'm hoping that'll be tomorrow night. But it might be on Thursday. The sooner the better.

There is nothing so cool as seeing a childs face light up when they open a gift......except maybe getting something just as special and hand made by them. You lucky guy! It sounds like Rhys really likes you!

I still have hand made Christmas cards and ornaments from the boys, made when they were still in the small grades. They're some of my most priceless possesions. Glad your holiday was so yummy!

Merouda LOVED her prezzies and they are all on display in my house.

You guys were so good to me, I really needed that.
