I hope you are all having a Merry Christmas. I'm still in my pajamas, as you should be on this day. 
My family has opened our gifts. I received some more pajamas, socks, underwear, a bra, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? on DVD. Glad to get them all. Matthew got Finding Nemo on DVD and my mother was able to find a copy of The Little Mermaid on DVD for Beth. Isn't eBay wonderful? 
We also got quite a bit of candy. 
Christmas isn't complete for me without lots of chocolate. My father was the big winner. He got seasons 3 and 4 of Stargate: SG-1 on DVD.
My mother is cooking now. She's quite pleased with our stove/oven and plumbing fixed. That's her Christmas gift. Soon, we'll have dinner. It's going to be a repeat of Thanksgiving, except she remembered the chocolate pie!

Well then, someone's gonna be happy! I sent you chocolate. I know, I just spoiled the surprise but it's good chocolate...Godiva chocolate! 
I opened my presents last night instead of this morning. I have more coming though, like 4 of them. Anyway, I got a cookie mix and a book from my neighbor....a really pretty frame from my friend Abby, a bunch of yummy teas from Chloe and Daphne(two of my students)--tea flavors I actually love! I got a 2003 Novel and Short Story Writer's Market book. Then I opened the last one...I had to laugh a little. It was kind of a dud...kind of if I thought in those terms. It'll come in handy...to sleep in. I sleep in sweatshirts. Anyway, one of my best friends who knows I do NOT like cheesecake got me a hoodie from The Cheesecake Factory...and left the price tag on. Lovely. Okay. hmm... I'm curious to see what T got for me---he's bringing it by either today or tomorrow. 4 of my other friends are presenting gifts on Friday when we all hang out at our traditional place, the Creamery.
Hmmm... Let Dad know if he is planning on a Stargate festival on New Years Eve, I'll bring the snacks!

Posted by: Stacey at December 26, 2003 12:40 AMMisbah, sounds like you got nice gifts. I'll enjoy the chocolate.
Dan, I'm not sure if he's planning on it or not. I won't be surprised.
And Stacey, I have yet to see the movie!
