It took me so long to get into my usual Christmas spirit this year, but I when I finally did, Christmas lived up to it's usual expectations. Spent some nice time bonding with my cousin's husband, Uncle, and Uncle's girlfriend at Christmas Eve. Apparently my cousin and my Uncle live in Sacramento, which I did not know until a few days ago. Seeing that I did not know this shows how out-of-touch I am with my Dad's side of the family, something I need to work on. That's part of being an adult, I guess. It's not up to my mom or my dad to ensure that I maintain meaningful relationships with my family members anymore, it's up to me.
I was especially pleased with my Christmas gifts this year, no matter how materialistic that sounds. New (and much needed) jeans and shirts, a dutch oven, a baby cakes pop cake maker (!), and a set of glass canisters for kitchen storage. I was especially touched by Steven's gifts-the Fluxx card game (hoping to play that soon!) and the beautiful fantasy book with all of his notes and thoughts in it! So thoughtful-I'm going to start reading today.
Also invested in a small present for myself-Civilization V a la the Steam Christmas sale. So much fun! I've been eyeing the Civilization series for years now, and I finally got around to buying it. Not sure why it took me so long!
