Well, we managed to make it through Christmas. We didn't go anywhere like my Husband had originally wanted which was a good thing because we didn't have the money to spare to go anywhere and still get presents for the kids. So we did manage to get a little extra money to get presents for our two girls and the family and friend's kids. As long as the kids got something that's all that mattered. We don't care if we get anything. It's the kids that can do with the presents rather then us. I have gotten a little bit progress with my aprons that I was making for me and my oldest daughter. But I have been slowing down a little bit because I am running low on thread. I have slacked a little on my housework, but have tried to keep up a little bit over Christmas. My brother-in-law tried to tell me that I wasn't supposed to do any dishes or work on Christmas. I tried to tell him that I needed to do dishes if I was going to be doing any cooking for supper. He tried to argue that I wasn't supposed to work on Christmas, it just wasn't right. So I turned it around and told him that if I wasn't supposed to work then I didn't have to cook supper. Then he decided it was fine for me to do things. Since we didn't have the turkey we had thawed out for Christmas I made baked chicken with mashed potatoes. But we had it thawed out the next day, so we had the turkey the day after Christmas. I managed to do better with this turkey then I did on Thanksgiving. The one I made here the day after Christmas was the perfect golden brown and just falling apart. Not dried out or anything. I was proud of myself. I am hoping to get caught up with all the house work again here sometime soon. Then maybe I can slow down a little again and enjoy at least a slight amount of down time. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I hope that everyone has a great New Year as well.
