And now Christmas can begin...

Finally, after a gruelling 2 months of blah Christmas work I, on December 24th, will begin celebrating Christmas.  It finally feels like the holiday has begun.  It seems silly (since we've had our work Christmas tree up since October 22nd) but its not Christmas unless I can relax.  
Luke and I will be opening presents this afternoon.  Its a little bit of a downer not to be able to wake up in our own bed Christmas morning and promptly begin opening presents but I'll take it.  Really, any time spent with my fantastic husband is a holiday so I can't complain.  I can't wait to see what he thinks of his gifts.  We told each other that we wouldn't do much gift buying since I happen to be typing on our biggest Christmas gift right now... but I think we both knew we would end up with a quite a few goodies under the tree.  Besides I just can't help but spoil the man I love.  My biggest gift to my self has been paying off our biggest Christmas gift to one another.  As much as I complain about work (and no, I won't get into a rant right now... even though I could) I am so proud that I have a job that allows me to provide a few luxuries for our little family.  I even got to go and buy the kitten a few stocking stuffers.  Maybe they'll distract him long enough that he'll forget just how tasty that pine flavored water under the tree is...  maybe not.
For all of you that we will be able to see today or tomorrow... I can't wait!  And for those of you we may not see, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas with your families and I hope to see you soon!
