Christmas 2009 came very fast this year…but the best part is that our Christmas is usually going all year long…What do we buy each other? Pretty much whatever we really want when we see it…and if we can fit it in our rv…Before Christmas, a few things were already bought for our birthdays so it made it a bit more difficult to find something else…Richard saw a Mickey Mouse statue with all the Disney characters written on Mickey’s body…With our discounts, he bought it for himself…
While out at Downtown Disney, I saw a Christmas Tinkerbell ornament that I really wanted and Richard wasn’t around so I bought it…but we still try to find one thing that we can give one another…I was really going to be surprised to see what Richard got me and I was sure he was going to be surprised what I got him…
Waking up on Christmas morning is awesome…I can’t wait to see what Richard got me…Our Disney bag wrapped gift are hidden in 2 spots…Well, maybe not hidden but are put away…On my portable table is a really romantic computer generated Christmas card…I read that card and then went to get out Richard’s gift bag…The bag that Richard handed me was very soft…Was it a very soft Tinkerbell tee? MMMMM!! Nope, it was the Cinderella’s Iced Castle blanket that I 
have been wanting since last year that is a special promotion at Disney Parks when you spend over $40…Most of the time we do not spend more than $20, cause of our discounts so the blanket was out of our reach…but we had friends in and during one of their shopping sprees at one of the Disney parks, Richard must have gotten them to purchase the blanket…What a surprise…It is soooo soft…and gorgeous…but what Richard didn’t realize too, is that he “was giving me” the Tinkerbell Christmas ornament that I had purchased earlier…So I unwrapped it 
and showed him…He loved what he got me…hahaha! The wings light up… I handed him his present and he liked his Pirates of the Caribbean towel and a 2009 engraved Mickey Mouse ears Christmas ornament…which can be hung all year long…What a wonderful Christmas…
This year I didn’t put up many Christmas decorations cause we have been very sick this month of December…but we did have our little Mickey Mouse decorated optic tree on our living room table…Our 
stockings were hanging on the slideouts…A few little Christmas ornaments were put around to give a look of Christmas in our little home…Our plans on Christmas was to go to our friend’s house for dinner and share in the day…We arrived at Bob and Donna’s home around 1:30pm… After we pulled in to the drive, Donna’s daughter, Jenna, son-n-law, Chris, and 2 grandkids, Kaleb and Kamryn, arrived…We all walked in to the house and I put their present under the decorated 
Palm tree…We hugged and said Merry Christmas…Today was going to be a good day except for us being sick…Donna was making a wonderful dinner and the table was set…The ham smelled very good along with the baked bread…Richard and I took a Dutch Apple pie with Cool Whip for dessert…Dinner was ready and we all sat at the table…It all looked so good..Ham, twice baked potatoes, corn, green beans, rolls/bread and I can’t remember what else…The ham was so good…Dinner was over and everything was cleaned up…Now it’s time for 
everyone to open up their presents…After the presents were all done, it was time to celebrate Kamryn’s b’day…The b’day cake was brought out, we all sang to Kamryn and more desserts and snacks were brought out…It was a fun time…but as time went on, I was starting not to feel well…Around 6pm, we started to head home…
The best part of my Christmas Day were the phone calls that we received from our kids…The phone calls are always the best presents for me…It makes my day…In the morning, I talked to our son, Josh, our almost daughter-n-law, Sandy…We had received a call from Brandi and her girls but I hadn’t listened to the message yet…but later in the afternoon, I listened to the message and it was so wonderful..Brandi and the girls were singing Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas, to us on the phone and it brought tears to my eyes…It was so adorable and cute…Another call I got was from our youngest, Misti…That really made my day…It is always great to hear from the youngest cause she lives in Sicily and it’s tough to hear from her cause I know it cost for long distance calls…but to be called on a holiday is always special and great…Thanks to all my kids for calling on such an important holiday…That is the greatest present of all for me…I love you all very much…Hugs and kisses…
So our Christmas ended in me being really sick when we got home…What a rough night it was…but overall, it was a Fantastic Christmas…
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas like I did and to all my friends and family HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
