What did you get for Christmas???

[gja1000]

OK everyone, what did ya get????

Of course, I got a new house so Gary was not supposed to get me ANYTHING!!! But of course, he did. A couple of weeks ago we were browsing all the thrift stores looking for a used office chair for his wood shop. We came across a tall lighted curio cabinet. The glass is curved on the sides and it has a mirror in the back. It was only $200. I shopped for this type of curio cabinet a few years ago and didn't buy one because they were so expensive. It is just gorgeous. It doesn't have a thing wrong with it except a tiny scratch on the wood frame. At the time, I thought it was such a good deal, but no, I didn't even think of buying it because I just bought a new house. So, I was so surprised to see it in Brooke's living room! At first I thought Bryan had bought it for Brooke. LOL! Then I realized that Gary had gone back and got it for me!

My daughter got me a new light fixture for my hall. Mom gave me money for a new rug for the living room.

We had a wonderful Christmas. We pared down and didn't get everyone as much as usual and we all declared it was much nicer and not so overwhelming!

After we opened our presents yesterday, we fixed biscuits (homemade) and sausage gravy and scrambled eggs. That is our traditional Christmas morning breakfast. Then we went to an Italian restaurant at 4:00 for dinner. It was very good, different though, and Gary was not too sure about Italian on Christmas.
