Guys who buy their partners really awesome shoes for Christmas are pretty good guys.

Happy Holidays, you!

Despite my little holiday cold, I had a nice time off doing absolutely nothing at all except for sleeping, eating, watching movies, and 'helping' Chris cook by reading out the ingredient list before napping.

We watched The Third Man (again, and still so good), The Brothers Bloom, the first 20 minutes of Kicking and Screaming (B&B. Boring & Bad. Why do people like this one so much?). And lots of HGTV.

Chris got me lots of wonderful gifts, including these darlings:


I'm going to save them and wear them on our honeymoon. They're not really Canadian winter shoes, anyway.

I'm not going to lie, I love getting gifts. And giving gifts. Especially beautiful sparkly gifts. My friend Kate got me this dress, which I had been stalking for months. It's got swans on it. Swans!


And here's another one, from Chris, which I had also adored from afar. Did anyone get anything wonderful? I also got a gizmo that attaches to my Diana and turns it into a Polaroid. For real! I'm going to try it out this weekend.
