Happy Kwanzaa! It is a really sunny, blue-sky day in Buffalo. And, for the first time EVER in the history of my Buffalo family, we ate out for Christmas dinner instead of cooking at home…woo-ha!
The Opening of the Gifts went quite well:
- a new watch
- gift card to Macy’s
- red cashmere sweater
- The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
- a pair of Helios pocket heaters
- the trendiest sneakers I have ever laid eyes on (from Bobby, of course)
- the most high-tech web cam I have ever laid eyes on (from Cam, of course)
- the cutest pair of shot glasses I have ever laid eyes on, with black kitties on the side, (from Steve, my pastor’s son, of course)
- beautifully painted glass drink stirrers (from Steve’s mom, my pastor’s wife)
Gifts I would’ve drawn blood for, had this been a white elephant party:
- a high-end Canon digital camera
- Dyson vacuum cleaner (hey, it gets dusty in Colorado, okay?)
- jewelry chest with in-laid gold and ebony wood detail
-
gift card to Best Buy (I want the toys all the other boys and girls have)
-
Banksy: Wall and Piece graffiti art book
Overall, the day was a lot fun! Now, I think it’s time for a late lunch at Amy’s Place and a trip to the art museum.
Umoja!
