Merry Christmas Part III
Dec. 26th, 2007 07:50 amThe third part of the long awaited trilogy of Rick and the Pierce family Christmas. If you remember, our band of intrepid Christmas adventurers were preparing to forge out into the freezing wilderness of Nashua NH in search of the elusive Christmas Day cheer. As it turned out, it wasn't at all elusive, as evidenced by this picture of our stalwart band in front of the hotel Christmas tree.
Monique, Amy and I set off to pick up my dad at the nursing home, while Chris and Danielle went to get my mom. We all rendezvoused at Randy's house where we were met with breakfast, after a cheery round of Christmas greeting with Randy, Bren and Quinn.
Then the much awaited, annual round of Christmas presents. As usual, this took a very long time, with pleasant holiday music and much fun discussion. I got much Patriots attire, a set of flute corks, a lovely new LARP shirt, a watch, a trip to the Christmas revels (see Saturday's post), a Dilbert daily calendar (what Christmas would be complete without one of these?), and more to come when I finish the complete inventory. I'm sure that will be deserving of a seperate post. :-)
Both my parents held up really well, though my dad was obviously quite worn out by day's end when we returned him to the nursing home.
We got home about 9:00 after a discussion filled ride home with Amy and Chris, watched an episode of West Wing and then retired for the night.
All in all, a marvelous and memorable Christmas weekend. The end.
