Steve called while we were opening gifts. We had a really nice chat with him, which is special because he really doesn't like to talk on the phone very often.
Omer played Santa as always (since the boys grew up and were no longer enamored of being the one to hand out the gifts).
Josh takes a turn opening a gift.
We had a nice dinner. It was great to not be cooking 17 different things. Very simple with ham, plain sweet potatoes (we don't like them with that marshmallow ick), asparagus, and orange sauce (a new, easy, recipe that Om says is a true keeper). Joshua brought some fruit and the pineapple was ripe, so I cut that up too. You've seen the cookies before.
After we ate, we watched a movie. Santa brought some used DVDs, and Josh picked Scully to watch. I'd seen it before, but had forgotten how good it is.
Then Josh went home, and I started another puzzle. Very relaxing day. The only work I did was the cooking and part of the cleanup.

Sounds like a perfect day. Merry Christmas.
Lulu: "That sounds like a great day, and that ham looks delicious! Is there any left?"
Java Bean: "Ayyy, Dada says they tried to watch that 'Sully' movie here once, but Mama already doesn't like to fly and, well, let's just say they had to abort that flight not long after takeoff ..."
Ann- it worked well for us.
Lulu- Sorry, you can't even have the bone. There is soup in its future.
Java- Too bad... hope Mama knows that everyone lived. That helps.
