sparkfrostMerry Christmas everyone! And Happy 5th night of Hanukkah! I can also sign "Merry Christmas" but that wouldn't easily be conveyed via text. I had to ask one of my deaf customers how to say it, and its surprisingly easy. Much simpler than "Happy Jesus's Birth Day" which was the only thing I could think of. Though that is really fun to sign.
Anyhow! Presents have been given and received, a delicious breakfast of bagels & lox and Bloody Marys has been consumed, and adorable babies have been played with. The loot:
-10 inch chef's knife
-6 inch vegetable knife
-cast iron skillet
-small roasting pan
-slotted spoon
-wall calendar
-cordless power drill
-Art Deco nail stripers
-OPI crackle polish
Plus some other stuff in the stocking like lotion and whatnot. Everyone seemed to like their presents, and Mom's scarf got oohs and ahs. After breakfast I helped my dad set up and register his Kindle. There were some slight difficulties, but we got it worked out, and he has downloaded his first book, the Kindle Classic version of Pride and Prejudice. Unfortunately I purchased the wrong case for his Kindle, but I've bought the correct one and I'll figure out how to return the incorrect one.
I'm back at my apartment now, I need to shower and change into more appropriate clothing. But I wanted to post and say that I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
