Christmas Trip - Day 6

Awake by 0830 - left hotel around 0900. Found Christmas list - had to wait for store to open to finish buying presents for the family... Left South Weymouth at 1045 and stopped in South Yarmouth to finish the rest of the Christmas shopping. Home at 1230 - had lunch. Went over to mall with Katie - she needed more presents too ("I wish this stupid shopping was over!!!"). Home around 1500 - wrapped all presents and cleaned up the living room. Had our usual dinner - tuna fish sandwiches on the floor in the living room. Ate with Dad, Beth, Katie, Carolyn - we each opened one present. Called Jamie to verify the wedding information. Went to EDCC with Katie and Carolyn for candlelight service. Saw lots more friends: Julie, Kerry, etc. Drove Damien home and his mom asked me to stay for their Christmas Eve party - that's a tradition, too. Had some really good food and played ping-pong. Saw lots of the old family friends (from when I was a kid). Had a good talk with Damien's dad. They gave me a leftover cake when I left and I went home - waking Dad by accident when I got there. Read for a little while and went to sleep at 0200.
