Best comment ever . <| sep |> so yesterday went surprisingly well , all things considered ! we ate really early since FIL was calling the shots and he definitely is an early to bed , early to rise type , but we got to eat inside , the food was quite good , and even the conversation was fun , since our nieces and nephew have hit the ages where they can talk to us like adults . so anyway , we were home around 3 and i basically spent the rest of the night enjoying my favorite red wine over the course of a few movies , since my personal tradition is to start the holiday season with A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation . with all this extra time i added Die Hard into the rotation , and got about halfway through Home Alone before i finally got too sleepy . i ' ll finish that today . this weekend we ' re going to focus on getting our christmas stuff put up it usually takes at least two days . i ' ve also got a couple of work things i have to do , but those are super minor and can really be whenever . happy friday , loves ! hope everyone has a fantastic day today . 3
