I end up mentioning the "Christmas Eve gift" thing practically every Christmas (look in the comments here for more into), but Rob and I have been married for, what, 33 years now (!!) and he said it to me today without any prompting whatsoever - I'm pretty sure it's the first time he's ever done that. I guess he's heard it an awful lot over the years, though - he was around when my grandma and my mother used to go around saying it every year, after all. (Then I looked at my phone and my sister had already texted me to say it, as well. If it's a contest to see who can say it first, then she won.)

We had our "Christmas dinner" today and are just going to have leftovers tomorrow. It was nothing fancy, though - lasagna and apple pie. And we watched While You Were Sleeping, which I hadn't seen in years and years. (I remembered who Sandra ended up with but I couldn't exactly remember how it all worked out.) We enjoyed it. And it's sort of a Christmas movie - basically in the Die Hard sense, where Christmas is just going on in the background but isn't really that integral to the plot. -- Disney+ has it in the holiday movie section, if you have that and you want an easy way to find it.

Our original plan was to drive to San Antonio tomorrow, and that's a really long drive and I can't say I'm sorry we didn't have to do it! I did get to see my sister briefly last week, and in a few months they'll be here (15-20 minutes away, that is) full-time. I haven't lived that close to my sister since we lived in the same house, a million years ago.
