The Lowdown

by Leslie

‘Twas the day after Christmas
And all through the house
Every creature was stirring
except for my spouse…

I kept Dave up until 2AM. He was rocking out to Guitair Hero with me. Yeah, you read me right: Guitar Hero. I got it. Actually, Santa was extra good to me. I got Guitar Hero I and II.

If you’re not convinced that I’m totally spoiled, guess what else I got?

(Cue the heavenly harp music)

A KitchenAid Mixer.

What can I say? Being great in bed really pays off.

You’ll notice the mixer is not yet out of the box. I’ve been busy rocking out and playing with a certified dancing princess.

I’m pretty sure the clothes police will be dispatching a swat team to our place soon to help get Julia out of that dress and me out of my pajamas because we’re still in them.

Christmas was wonderful, and not just because of the gifts. Although, I must thank my mother -

- who went to the greatest lengths to make sure everyone found the gifts they wanted most under the tree, and then some. Christmas wouldn’t have been all it was without her help.

And her generosity didn’t end there. She worked right beside me all week, through her vacation from work, to make our Christmas Eve party a success. And it really was a success! People came, ate, talked, exchanged gifts, and got their butts handed to them (by me) at poker.

I genuinely enjoyed the company of our guests and I believe they felt comfortable and welcome in our new home. I’m not sure if they realize it, but they gave Dave and I such a special gift by coming to spend Christmas Eve with us. It meant so much. The greatest gift, however, came from Dave’s father, who pushed the hand I offered for a shake aside to give me a hug.

A hug. From my father-in-law.

It was a very merry and miraculous Christmas I will never forget.

I am so jealous of your Kitchen Aid mixer. I had one years ago that I lost in a nasty divorce and I have wanted one ever since. This year I got my engagement ring though, it is much better than a mixer. I will just have to get one for my birthday.

I wish I had a mixer like that! Your Princess is beautiful!

You’re one lucky gal…

Wow, that was quite the Christmas bounty there!

Merry (belated) Christmas! I’m glad to hear that it was an awesome one! (And I am so happily surprised that the party went well; what a great way to end the year!)

Sounds like you scored! Your mom sounds great too.

I am still in complete disbelief that my father hugged you!?!

Hey, wait a minute - my father didn’t even hug me!!!
