It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and not just because we got a little bit of snow yesterday. Actually, what snow we did get yesterday didn’t amount to anything, but it was nice to see the little flakes. Nope, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here because yesterday we started our whole Christmas holiday with the in-laws.

Yup, we went over there, and opened gifts. The wife and I pretty well already knew what we were getting from her parents, even though this is the first year that she hasn’t been able to peek. lol Like most people with a new house, we got house stuff. Towels, sheets, pillows for the couch, curtains, a new front door, tile for the entry way, and even hard wood flooring for the living room and hallway. I must say, I’m more excited about the last three items than anything else.

Now, come the new year I get to move all of our furniture out of the living room so the hired hand can come in and lay the new floor. I’m not so excited about that, especially since our (my!) old 36″ TV weighs a good 500 lbs. Oh well, at least I’ll have a new floor instead of this nasty carpet that was left by the previous owners.

Now it’s time to go surprise the wife and let her open her gifts from me. She thinks I’m going to make her wait until after Christmas. Tehehehe.
