Grillades and grits plus seafood gumbo plus a long dog walk plus all the presents a girl could want makes for a very nice Christmas. My mom got an iPhone and asked me: "How much of what you know can it do?" She also got a CD by the Tran-Siberian Orchestra, which she had asked for. Turns out that progressive rock meets symphonic metal meets heavy metal meets classical music meets my mom yelling "Turn that off!"
I got some awesome things: flannel sheets, a cashmere hoodie, a cashmere wrap, cashmere socks, my mom's communion bag turned jewelry travel bag, Chanel No. 5 powder, a wooden "Sloshed Santa" carved by my dad, three grocery bags sewn by my mom from 1930's feedsacks, five of my favorite candles, two sets of pajamas, an amazing 1920s newspaper holder, a gift box of Laura Mercier bath products and a beautiful metal sculpture of a tree from a local artist. I fear that I didn't give as good as I got this year, but I tried.
Tonight we'll watch, against our better judgment, Julie and Julia.
