So this has been an AWESOME Christmas! I just got done Skyping with the whole family and as my Christmas day is winding down here in España, I just wanted to share some of this wonderful day with all of you. First of all, Christmas Eve dinner last night was fantastic. Patrick cooked a tomato sauce all day that he made from scratch, so we scarfed down way too much pasta and sauce while keeping one of my family's traditions alive even from wayyy over here:
Every year my family watches It's a Wonderful Life before Christmas, and this was Patrick's first time to ever see it, but he loved it (how can you not?).
Then, this morning started off as every Christmas should: with coffee and presents.
Pat got me a pair of beautiful earrings and a t-shirt from the movie Amelie (which we both love), that says, "Son tiempos dificiles para los soñadores" (These are difficult times for dreamers).
I got Patrick the Noam Chomsky t-shirt that he's wearing in the picture and the leather-bound notebook that he's holding.
The rest of the day was filled with watching Christmas movies and the Christmas specials of the Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. Also, much cooking and feasting took place.
Obviously we made way too much food for two people.
Why, yes, this was my plate. Don't judge.
We feasted on steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, and stuffing (thanks, Mom, for sending the box of Stove Top stuffing :)). Also, not pictured above was our dessert, which was a chocolate mousse cake, store-bought by yours truly. Unfortunately, dessert was consumed before I could snap a picture of it.
I sincerely hope everyone else has been having a wonderful Christmas, full of spending time with friends and family and eating way too much food. I think while it is still Christmas Patrick and I are going to squeeze in a few more Christmas movies. Love you all and merry Christmas!!!
XOXOXO
