What particularly parental things did your parents do to you this holiday season?
Being of an age, I have to change it to what parental thing I did to my kids. Every year since forever I get the boys socks and undies for Christmas. I did so again this year and they were delighted, and all even put their holiday themed socks on immediately. It was the first year I didn't get undies though. Instead I got inside pants for the boys and a night shirt for the girl. (I may get them undies for their birthdays instead)
2017 decided to screw things up on more time. I got off of work Friday afternoon nd had Sat off, was supposed to work 1 to 5 today and have tomorrow off. I went down to M's Friday night. Drove up for work today and found out someone called out so i needed to stay until 6. It was slammed. Everyone returning , including someone wjp returned a bunch of kids clothes that reeked of smoke. I was told to take them back.
Around 5:30 customers started talkong about the freezing rain and sleet. So instead of driving down the mountain bacl to M's I'm staying at home.
Our big NYE plan was watch Brooklyn 99 (we just watched last years halloween episode) l and drink sparkling grape juice. So noting fancy but still would have been nice.
We're unexpectedly New Year's Eve-ing at the most absurdly establishment joint ever, and trying not to laugh too loud at the fact that they have a cocktail called the Bolshevik Revolution.
At any rate, the other drinks are excellent, and hey, free night at a swanky hotel/golf club (I said establishment, no?)
We *never* go out for NYE. I fully expect to be in bed at 10.
We won't be going out, and poor dog is already being subjected to the fireworks. I'll stay up until midnight though. Because.
I was invited to a party, but I am a feeling a little off today, so I bailed early. Now my friends messaged me to say that they are bailing on it too, so I don't feel too bad about not going out. It's cold and most people I know are hunkering down at home.
My almost 90 y.o. parents seem to be out.
My nephew is staying over tonigjt and wont got to sleep. Everything is scary and Mom has been trying to convince him the toys in the room are nice . And also he doesn't need nihht lights AND the light over thr stove AND the bathroom light on.
I did talk to my aunt tonight and that is good. I gave her picutes of my cousin (her son who passed away almost 10 years ago). She was really happy, she didnt think there were any new pictures she wpuld ever see of him.
I am resolved to go through all my pictures and mom's and scan the ones we have and send them to her.

I left my purse at my brother's house (got distracted helping my grandmother out the door) and my dad insisted on driving me back over to get it because my driver's license was in the purse.

My mother told me ltc is cuter than I was at that age, but I agree with her.
