I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Yes, folks here I am on this Christmas Night. All I have to say is that it has been a wonderful day for me. I did get some new presents. I did get some nice presents from my parents. They gave me Eternity Aftershave, the 2016 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, the movie Ant Man, those huge Reese's Cups (I love Reese's Cups), and a UNC Russell Athletic Bowl T-shirt. But the gift that made me happiest was...under ware. Yes, underwear. Yes...I am being serious. I am happy I got new underwear. My old under ware was starting to fall apart and knew I needed new under ware. And for presents. I do like getting things that are useful. And nobody can't argue that under ware is very useful.

Mom like her new Rhymes with Orange cartoon book I got for her. She finds that stuff funny. I was happy to see the smile on her face. I gave Dad a Calculus book. He told me he really wanted to brush up on Calculus. After that I had to get ready to go to Carson's/

I went to Carson's so we can spend Christmas together. We first exchanged presents. I had an Adele CD. It was the deluxe version with three bonus tracks. I also had a book called the 101 Uses for a Pug. I also gave her a calendar with a prayer for each day. But I had to give her her main present first because I did not know how long it could last in my car. It was an orchid. She thought they were beautiful. I also had Redskins socks for her father. But Cravon has always been a Washington Redskins fan.

Carson decided to give out other presents later. We first went to go see the movie Joy. We thought it was a nice movie. Then we went back home. Carson gave me Christmas dinner. It was some prime rib Cravon cooked the night before, as well as a casserole Carson cooked the night before. The casserole had cheese, potatoes, and corn flakes. Then we gave the rest of our presents. She saw the pug mug and Caribou Coffee I had for her. Cravon got to see his present from my parents. They are going to treat him to a game of Golf. Carson then gave her big gift to me. It was a UNC lamp we saw in a sporting goods store some weeks ago.

When Carson and I returned to her home, Mike, her brother also came by. He told me he likes the UNC grilling spatula I gave him. I knew he must have been exhausted he was driving all the way to Pennsylvania to North Carolina and back in less than two days. And he was tired when he came over. Still nice to spend quality time together. As well, as his wife Gretchen likes her Penn State scarf. It was nice having him over as well. We got a call from their Aunt Nancy. She recently got injured. She broke her arm. Mike and Carson spoke to her when she called. Aunt Nancy is doing better than she did the other night.

Around seven I went home. When I got back home Bayard and Rachell (Bayard is my brother, Rachell is his wife, and yes, that is how it's spelled) were just leaving. However, I told them before they leave back for their home, I thought they should get Carson's presents for them. I handed them those presents, and hugged them and wished them a merry Christmas. I did have presents for them. I gave them gift cards to stores they like. Michael's for Bayard, and Sephora for Rachell. I set the vale to $35 for each gift card. Hope they enjoy their shopping sprees. Carson gave them Phish memorabilia, since they are both Phish fans. They loved the presents Carson had for them.

Then my parents and I decided to open presents together again as a family. Mom and Dad wanted to open the presents Carson had for them. It was Arizona State memorabilia. And Arizona State golfing towel for Dad, and and Arizona State T-shirt for Mom, with and old version of Sparky. Then I opened the present Bayard and Rachell gave me. It was a Carolina Panthers Calendar. That was sweet of them. It was nice to see my recipients enjoy the presents I had for them. It was truly a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Oh, let's not forget that this Christmas Night had a full moon. That is something that will happen for another 19 years. I thought I would take a picture and put it on this blog. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
