Past Present Future Diamond Pendant
Q.Since I celebrate Christmas (albeit not in a religious way), I'm going to be politically incorrect and say "Merry Christmas!" If you don't celebrate Christmas... well, I hope you had a great day, anyway! We've had a very nice Christmas. My stepdaughters came over last night. Ten years later, it is hard to believe that we've finally reached the point where I can look back on an evening with them and smile... and yet, we have. They chose not to open their gifts until my kids arrived -- also a nice difference from past years. We all laughed, and had a nice evening. OSD and I started up a conversation about religion. I lent her some books. She said she wants to get together and talk more. Ten years ago, I never would have believed it. There is hope for people in blended families, who wonder if the holidays will ever stop being stressful. This morning we got up at a reasonable hour. Yay! The kids have gotten past waking at 5:00 a.m. We put on Christmas music, lit the tree, and unwrapped presents. DH made breakfast; I cleaned up. The kids were checking out their loot, so DH and I crawled back into bed for a snuggle, and feel asleep. So, how was everyone else's day?
A.Well, I got an ankle bracelet (tiny box chain with a small gold heart on it), a circular jade pendant with the Chinese symbol for love in the middle (from our son. I told him his girlfriend can thank me later for teaching him early to buy jewelry :P ), a 'past, present, future' type pendant from our daughter, and a very nice plumeria with mother of pearl on it pendant from my husband. They were dispersed on the chains I already have holding pendants from past holidays. Very, very nice! I wish I enjoyed wearing jewelry more. Unfortunately, it slightly bothers me all day, and the first thing I do upon returning home is take it all off.... and other than my wedding rings and watch, I rarely wear any at all. BTW, I don't know if I mentioned it, but this year DH replaced the diamond in my engagement ring with tanzanite, which I love. That is one gemstone I will put up with the discomfort to wear.
