Tonight we'd wait until midnight and open our presents. She, of course, would have just gone down my wish list on Amazon.com, which she would have made me update late in November. She also would have banned me from buying anything for myself two weeks before my birthday.
We would have set a spending limit, and I would have gone over it. I probably would've gotten her a laptop this year; hers is getting way outdated. She would've bought the cats some toys (don't worry, I got them some for her).
We'd sit up for a while -- we'd be too tired to do anything physical -- watching whatever Christmas movie was on TV, then we'd go to bed.
Tomorrow, presuming she still did tech support for AOL, we'd have made a little holiday meal, watch "A Christmas Story" on TBS and played with our new toys before we went to work. She'd be commenting about expecting an extra dose of stupid callers because it being Christmas (so there'd be people trying to use AOL for the first time on their new computers) and it being a full moon (because it always brought out the loonies).
Like every Christmas I spent with her, it would've been the best one ever.
Merry Christmas, sweetie.
