I hope all of my readers have had a very Happy Holiday season. As you can see, this is how I looked on Christmas Eve. What you can't see are my stockings falling to my knees because I didn't since the waist of the false garter stockings high enough. (I also don't like how the dress is sitting in this picture, but that's another issue that can be handled by Photoshop.)
RQS and I didn't get moving until 3:00 pm, as we knew we could make a 5:00 pm dinner on Christmas Eve. This would be the best dinner so far of the holiday season, as we also has a 5:00 pm dinner in New Jersey with TCL. Today, we had to be out the door by 3:15 pm to make it to TCL's place by 4:45 pm, and we just made it in time.
After a few minutes of waiting, the three of us made it to a Chinese Restaurant in Mahwah. Unlike the past times we were at this place, service was slow and sloppy. At least, the food was decent. Mind you, I'd have gotten much better food in NYC, but one takes what one can get in suburbia. Both RQS and I felt that the quality of food and service has gone down a notch, and we will likely hunt for another place to eat next year.
Following dinner, we went back to TCL's place, where we had some tea and cookies. To say that her place had a strong cat odor would be putting it mildly - I'd bet that her two male cats had been marking territory, and that TCL had grown insensitive to the odor. (I'm glad that I don't have to take care of cats any longer.)
All in all, it was a nice day. Yet, I'm glad that Christmas is over until next year.
