Christmas morning here started as most mornings. Up. Tea. Feeding and watering the birds (plus the new twice daily serving of warm oatmeal. Still trying to fatten - without cholesterol - Ferne). Then we settled in to open the gifts. Lots of nice items exchanged and received.
Dave received a 70m Mammut Infinity rope. I couldn't find bipattern, but it'll do just the same. It's already coiled and waiting for it's first use. If all this snow would melt, he'll be out I'm sure. I received what I asked for from Santa - my Christmas facial gift certificate and a heart rate monitor that goes with my super duper bike computer. Just like my computer downloads all data about my rides, it will now download heart rate during it. Right now, I only ride on the trainer, but in no time the weather will be nice and safe enough to get back on the road.
Lots of other goodies included some tools from my parents. And Dave's mom sent a cat toy. It is supposed to go on a door knob. I couldn't help but try...I learned Pente's head is bigger than a doorknob. She makes great faces!
As always, Pente loved it all. Lots of new surfaces to sit on. Things to swat at. Boxes to scratch. We received a drinking bird that had a short but happy life. She was interested in it before it met its tragic end. I took it to the kitchen, got it a glass with water, gave it a drink, the liquid filled body swung back, tapped the glass, and shattered sending green liquid all over in an instant. Glad I wasn't on the carpet still!
Dave ended up withe three new shirts. An FBI shirt, fleece and a Prana shirt I got. Only the Prana needs to be returned as it's too small.
Lots of other nice goodies, including a Keurig coffee maker and coffees, the full set of JackAss (movies), coasters, ornaments, a scarf, very neat Brighton charms (frog and two sparklies) and a nice critter hat. I wear it as I type this blog.
Nice morning. Now things are cleaned up, and we are both fading. Dave wants to go for a walk. I want to take a nap. Hopefully it stays a nice, relaxing day. 
Merry Christmas!
