It's fully Christmas. Technically it's the 27th. Boxing day has come and gone and apparently malls weren't crazy this year. Perhaps the consumers in us are showing that slump in physical form. Either that or everyone was shopping online. Anyway, to us here in our household it still feels like Christmas day. We've still got all of our presents to open not to mention the energy of a 3 and 4 year old to fuel the party. Right now all is at rest but tomorrow it will be high energy again. My nephew has a knack for waking up at 5 or 6 in the morning ready to go. Since I'm sleeping on the couch on the main floor, I'm in play zone danger. We'll see what I can sleep though I guess. But yeah, we still haven't opened presents. I think for the second year in a row, it doesn't seem to bother me all that much. I think it's that I feel like the best parts of Christmas have already been fulfilled. I spend Christmas day visiting my sister and her fam then driving up to Thornhill to my aunts to join in xmas celebrations, not to mention amazing food. It had been 2 years that I missed out on their gathering which I've attended every year since I can remember. It's great to see everyone again especially as we don't have as many gatherings as the years go by and the family expands. Today I spent the day with my fam, sis, nephew and Cooper the dog. It was a great chill day. Presents are still nice but there's so much more meaning in everything else that's around at this point. Perhaps I'm being overly reflective about it but I guess it just feels good.
Anyhow, I have about half hour of a movie to finish up then some major sleep to catch.
Merry Christmas to all.
A very tired J
