Went to eat at the old age home with my grandma and aunt, we do this every year. Had Chinese food. Went to the church service afterwards, then went to my sister's, we opened the gifts. Tomorrow we'll go to church then go to my parent's, and there will probably be more gifts there for the kids. We'll have a supper and such too.

Got 300 bucks and a $30 Canadian Tire gift card. Was quite surprised, did not expect that much cash.

On Boxing day we'll probably go see my grandma, but I'm not sure. We usually play it by ear and make plans on the fly.

I have to decide what to do with my $300. I could put it in the bank, since I've been saving up for a new vehicle, as well as redoing the weeping tiles, but given it's a Christmas gift, think I'll buy myself something with it. Maybe a nice new shiny power tool. I've been wanting a table saw. Hmmm. If I buy it at Canadian tire I have $330 to spend. Has me thinking.

Hope you get paid extra for working on Christmas day. If so it can be some nice extra cash.

double time :thumbsup: it's hard to say no to the extra money when I can work from home on holidays... although I did specifically ask to not work on New Year's Day.

it's going to be the first time in like 2 months where both my boyfriend and I will have absolutely no plans, no reason to have to get out of bed early, no appointments, no family events, etc, etc, etc...

Wish I could drink. There's lots of wine and beer at the family party here, just about to start. But I have to get up early tomorrow for stupid boxing day NCIX sale :( That and I'm on meds that I shouldn't really be mixing with alcohol too much.
