my family did christmas on Christmas eve this year, and it was really a great night. I really got nothing big, except $500 in my bank account and TWO pairs of doc marten's, but the experience was lovely. my mom got me this shirt that was $90 and is beautiful, and some worry rings. tomorrow we'll go up to martinsville, where I'll be until Monday until my shift.
tonight I watched my parents kiss for the first time since my mom was in the ICU at Mayo Clinic two years ago. literally. my mom says they've been talking things out, and it's working. Everyone in my family got amazing and valuable gifts (a 7-quart mixer and jewelry for mom, a chainsaw, iPhone 4, and printer for dad, a whole new wardrobe for jaime, and my expensive clothes and shoes) and no one has to give presents back so we can pay the bills this year. my dad might get a promotion at work, my mom is considering some different job options, and jaime is back on good terms with his friends and isn't hanging out with trashy girls anymore. things for my family are the best they've ever been, and i'd be a fool not to sit back and soak it all in while i'm home.
