Sweet moments.

Scott's still not feeling well (cold/flu), but he was well enough to have a Christmas Eve dinner today. I cooked a turkey breast, nothing fancy, and warmed mashed potatoes and gravy. Little enough but more cooking than I normally do, and we enjoyed it.

That's the holidays, at their best: warmth and fun and happiness and togetherness. The trappings aren't half so important as the heart.

Tomorrow we'll go to a party with his roleplaying friends; and Friday we drive down to visit his aunt and uncle. (His other aunt and uncle called today to see if we could come to Christmas dinner tomorrow. Unfortunately, we already had plans.... Oops. Short notice is unfortunate.)

It was pleasant. I think we're going to watch Lilo and Stitch here in a bit - hardly traditional holiday fare, but fun, and Scott hasn't seen it yet.

Only the fact that he's sick...

...saved Scott from going to the grocery store today. He remembered to tell me, at about, oh, 2:00 in the afternoon, that we needed a little something, maybe a fruit tray, for his friends' party tomorrow.

There are a few things I would want to do less than going to the grocery store on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. Our local store closes at 8 pm tonight, so going in now or in a couple hours comes to mind. But....

Yeah. Still, I made it in and out. Took five minutes to park. They were, of course, completely out of fruit trays, veggie trays, meat-and-cheese trays, etc. My choice boiled down to a festive tray of nacho dip (that was the label), a tub of baked goods, or put-it-together. So I bought various packs of fruit, and will be assembling a fruit tray from that. Along with some meringue cookies because they amused me.

I survived. We have stuff. But aie, aie, aie. Scary.

Scott and I have now watched Lilo and Stitch together; he hadn't seen it before, and enjoyed it.

And apparently some of my packages have started arriving - and not just the ones I'd thought would, so that's cool. One's going out of the country; I'll be lucky if it arrives this week; but I dare to hope the rest will all be there by Friday, at least. Not feeling quite so bad about my shipping timing, though...yeah. But they went out! They are arriving!
