Boxing day (but we didn't box anything)

Boxing Day was nice and bright, a pretty day to get out since Linda couldn't possible imagine boxing up Christmas the day after. So we decided to go shopping at Tiffany's and Sur la Table and Pottery Barn. We really went to get the trophy wife's ring cleaned, but I know better about Tiffany's. Then we found a chocolate cake Christmas tree ornament, and some cool cocktail napkins, 9 of them for the 8 reindeer and Rudolf, and some more icicles for the outside back window. And then off to Trader Joe's for some vermouth for the martinis. Oh, and we got pretty towels in red for the Christmas kitchen. So good and focused were we that we got out of Easton's traffic before the real shoppers even showed up. Home for some fish, and then we turned on Nutcracker (well, not really: we turned on Nutcracker after the kids left on Christmas Day, but I didn't remember to write it in, then). And ended the evening again in front of the fire, with Wally's new squeeky bone getting a good workout while accompanied by holiday music.
