Holiday Recap

Usually Justin and I don't fall prey to the capitalistic ploy that the birth of Jesus has become. But this year, I wanted to open presents, so I told him he could get me stuff.

So Justin got me some LOOT! Cupcake themed PJs, yoga pants, AND a bright orange bath mat. Was the bath mat just for me? No. But Justin knows that I enjoy the process of opening presents, no matter what's in there.

There is the suspense of looking at a box all wrapped up, shaking that box. The sense of possibility! Anything could be in that box!

The way to do it, though, is not even entertain any specific possibilities of what's all wrapped up, lest you feel let down when you see it's not the diamond ring / world peace / matching orange bath towels you wanted in the box.

So you have to open presents with no expectations, and love that it's...



....a bright orange bath mat! Awesome! I never would have thought! But hey, we do need a new bath mat, so everyone wins.

Happy Capitalism Season. No slipping and falling on the way out of the shower for us.

P.S. Justin also got 'me' a salad spinner. Not to brag, but our lettuce is dryer than ever before.
