This morning when I went to pick up my grandma, Nat King Cole's “The
Christmas Song” was playing on the radio. Tonight when I was
dropping her back off, Nat King Cole's “The Christmas Song” was
playing on the radio. Crazy.
I was picking her up to go over to my dad's house for Christmas. We
had brunch, opened presents, and did a bunch of just sitting around
and talking. It was nice not having to rush through the presents and
head off to work. As for presents, my brother seemed to really like
the hat I made him (much more so than my sister's husband) and wore
it around the house, and my dad seemed to like his stuff. I got
money, stuff to clean my car with, and a candle. Oddly enough I have
recently been considering getting a candle or something for my room
to change up the smell. At the moment the smell is still new enough
that every time I walk into my room I catch a hint of it. I'm liking
it.
Tonight I watched the Doctor Who
Christmas Special, which was also the last episode of Matt Smith as
the Doctor. The end of David Tennant's run was mildly traumatic and
filled with tears. The end of Matt Smith's run was sad more mostly
just confusing. On first viewing I have to say I wasn't very
impressed. Mostly because I had no idea what was going on. I need
to see it again. And maybe watch all of Matt Smith's run in a
marathon so I have the storyline fresh in my mind. As with the end
of previous runs, we got a brief look at the next Doctor. I like the
actor and I am interested to see how he plays it.
Around ten o'clock I went downtown
to see the big tree because I have heard a lot about it. It was big
and the lights on it slowly changed color. I did a slow drive-by but
I could see myself just sitting there and staring at it. I took a
round about way to get home to see other lights and I have to say my
favorite displays were the ones where people just had a bunch of
lights around their porch instead of the whole house.
And lastly, I had hot chocolate
tonight, in non-frozen form, for the first time in many years. The
last time I had it was sometime in college, which was awhile ago now.
It was delicious.
