the last day of christmas

Today, Judy came over for our annual Christmas visit. She was away over the holiday, so this was the first chance we had to get together. As a bonus, she got to join us for our New Year’s Day dinner–pork, kielbasa, sauerkraut, dumplings, salad, and champagne. Since Brian and I don’t like to go anywhere on New Year’s Eve, I’m thinking about adding pierogies to next year’s menu–I figure we can make them on New Year’s Eve since we’re home and not doing anything anyway. Might as well do something constructive, eh?

After eating, exchanging presents, and bs’ing for a while, we went downstairs and played some air hockey. I’m sad to say Judy was undefeated this afternoon. My only consolation is that I’m still champion of the house. It might not be much, but it’s all I have.

Later this evening, we plan to take down the tree and put away the rest of the decorations (Brian already took down the outside lights on Saturday). I can’t believe I have to go to work tomorrow. Having all of last week off really spoiled me. At least it will be a short work week this week.
