So unfortunately because I was working Xmas Eve I had to go back to my family's house after such a long time away. It was so uncomfortable with how formal everyone was.
On a happy note, Lou and I hung out with Lil and Joey and Arc Sunday night and played video games. It was really great. The following day (Monday) I had a meltdown in front of Lou because I behind on a commission. So after just kissing my head and calming me by the tri-window, we ended up spending the dy watching movies and shopping. I finally found a gift for my parents that night.
Lou found 1 of 2 gifts that Lil told him to get and we spent a lot of time in the shops.
Once we returned home we marathoned 3-4 movies and played animal crossing and ate pizza and Lou made a ballin' homemade Mac and cheese. It had chicken broth taste...so GOOD!!!!
I had to be awake for work so I packed everything I needed to go to my family's house and we went to bed early. It was quite nice.
Now I'm in bed kind of lonely, wrapping up his stocking gifts and finishing some of the presents I made/got for him. It's making me nostalgic! I got into Christmas super hard this year because it was my first year spending it back in MA! Louis said he never got a stocking so I immediately jumped on that opportunity with a makeshift one until I can knit him a long one with his name on it!
I also asked him what the best gifts he got were and he immediately said buzz lightyear from when he was little. I asked him what recent (past 5 years) were ones he liked or were memorable but he said nothing stood out to him aside from smaller things his sister got him. Not even friend/family gifts stood out. So I tried my hardest to figure out some gift ideas that could make an impression or he'd appreciate and while I didn't obtain what I wanted, I have a chance at a $200 gift that I think he would love. Depending on whether the place has restocked yet I want to get it for him for Thursday. I have a couple of bigger things that are either cool or meaningful to tie him over for the holidays. I just want to see him smile. :)
