Christmas this year was very emotional for me. This year will be the last I go all out/crazy over buying extravagant gifts. Next year I'll get one present for each of my parents and call it good. Going crazy over gift giving has been destroying my mental health these past few years and with two SI flare ups this year (and 1-2 flare ups every Christmas-time year prior) I just can't handle the stress of it all.
I did get great presents. I got a very nice pair of winter boots/all-weather slippers with memory foam and it is very warm and cozy, I got a nice pair of very fashionable yet weather-orientated rain boots, and I got this amazing room freshener and that says quite literally on the bottle "smells like an Indian temple". I sprayed my room and the whole house with it and it is so calming. From my brother I got a Rick and Morty mug that changes color when it gets hot. My best friends are coming up next week and we are doing our own little Christmas. One bff sent me a package and told me not to open it till she gets here. I got her and my other bff matching Christmas mugs w/ hot cocoa and matching hoodies with my "Oregon Coast" hometown name on it. My parents are now cooking prime rib. It's their first ever attempt at cooking prime rib and they are babying it. We're all praying that it turns out perfect. It was a very expensive meat but my mom really wanted to go all out this year. |

So sorry you're sick, Dag. Yes, I actually started this thread early with folks "a day early" like those in Australia in mind. And it ended up being a long one.
![]() A New Year's Bash sounds great! Who wants to sort of head it up? I'll help as much as I can. I had a good day. Our Christmas meal worked out fine. We bought most of the food yesterday and heated it up today--turkey, ham, green beans, etc. Everybody liked the gifts I got them and I got some good stuff, including a new lap top. This one keeps freezing up and otherwise being a pain. My sis and bro-in-law just went back to their hotel. They'll be in town until Thursday. My sons go back tomorrow, since that was their original plan. Our tentative plan is for me to go to see my son in D.C., probably in April. And I do want to get out to Indiana to see my son there some time this year. |

The prime rib was phenomenal. Everyone had seconds and my mom had thirds. We asked for a 5-6 pound meat and we got an 8 pound. We may give some to our neighbor and feel free to take a slice. We all have food comas!
