I am particularly proud of myself, and live-in's mom, for spending the entire day together Christmas shopping without getting on each others' nerves, saying things that were either intentionally or unintentionally hurtful, and other nonsense. We, in general, just really enjoyed each others' company. I even payed for hot dogs, and she didn't slap me for doing it.
I also give her props for helping me choose some cute things to send to my niece for Christmas, and only crying once - happy tears.
Love it.
Also, I would like to say that lighting a "Sparkling Pine" candle and putting it in the room with the (artificial) Christmas tree, and lighting a "Christmas Cookies" candle and putting it in the kitchen, was the best idea I've had all day. Live-in is going to be incredibly happy when he gets home!
I have live-in partially done, his mother partially done, his dad and brother not started, and am waiting on confirmation for a group gift for my dad.
I'm decidedly more ahead of this Christmas shopping thing than I was last year.
