Merry Christmas!

 Christmas 2020. What a year! We had tuna casserole last night for supper. Jackson's request. It was very good, and there is a bit leftover for lunch tomorrow or his dinner tonight if he doesn't like what I make. Which I hope turns out. 

Jackson didn't get a lot of sleep last night, maybe an hour or two. I didn't sleep much better to be honest, but we were up at 7 and ready to go! He was very happy with the stocking items, and as we opened gifts he liked all of them as well. He got a few science items, a kit to make explosive foam, a microscope and some slides, and a telescope as well. He also got some lego and a ukulele. A few cozy blankets and lots of candy. To be honest, for only being two people in the house, there were a lot of presents! When I commented on that he said it's because he's an only child so he gets spoiled. 

All those presents! And two cats checking it out.

It didn't take all that long to open things up, he was good at handing things out, and getting me to open things as well. It was a fun morning. Now for the less fun part, only because in a normal year we'd be going over to my sister's around 3 for dinner, and meeting family there. But this year of course there is nothing. We will skype with my parents later so Jackson can show off some of his gifts and perhaps play a song on the ukulele. If we can figure out how to tune it. 

I think next year will be less presents, we have a trip planned for right before Christmas on his birthday, and perhaps that will be enough, plus smaller things to open up. Or I'll be pregnant? Maybe? Or in the process of adopting? Or we'll have moved and have to spend more on rent so no money left for presents... We'll see! 

One week to eat a lot of chocolate up before New Year's Eve and 2021, when the healthy eating starts. One week to get the basement cleaned and sorted as much as possible. Starting tomorrow :-)
