the year of the slipper

Christmas 2005 is now officially the "year of the slipper". Our whole family got slippers from my parents and we gave slippers to my sister... who also receive a pair from my parents. Luckily we got her slip on slippers that need to be worn indoors while the slippers my folks got her can be worn anywhere. I also got a pair of slipper socks from my friend Ivy. I call them my sleeping slippers and wear them in bed.

Rianne got the moccasin type, fringe and all, and has even danced a little dance for us just so we could see the fringes bounce around. Marshall also has moccasin style slippers, but no fringe - more manly. Dan and I got slippers from Cabellas that are just the best dark chocolate color. I'm currently wearing mine with no socks on, that's how warm they are!

I actually requested the slippers for my family. We're living in a house heated with fuel oil so you can imagine how low our thermostat is set, now subtract another 5-10 degrees for days when no one is home but me. I should have asked for sweaters too :)

I loved the fact that Christmas was on a Sunday this year. I think it should always be on Sunday. Taking the time out to go to church before opening the presents at the beginning of the day was perfect. It refocused the day on Jesus and his birth.
