Christmas simplicity

With all of the over-the-top madness that surrounds the holiday (which I am all for, by the way), keeping the actual day simple was just what we needed. It was just us. And just a few presents. Even Santa got the shaft, with store-bought Oreos. But he better get used to it, cause I kinda liked the simplicity of the day.


Kate was sure the reindeer wanted celery this year.

Our only major bogey was not taking out the trash the day before Christmas. We started the day with 1 of 2 trash cans full. Good thing the trash man here comes twice a week!
Can you tell where we did our shopping this year?
We did join some friends for Christmas dinner. It was really nice and a perfect ending to a great day.
