Had my at-home Xmas already. Just a week before I am going to my parents' home to spend Xmas with them for the first time in 11 years...
This year I live on the same coast, so I can't really avoid it. Mom is a Christmas nut. It's not a religious thing, it's a "holiday spirit" thing. And to a fairly disturbing level, at that.
She starts decorating the day after Thanksgiving (after a few prep-weeks of removing all the normal decorations from the house. Preparing for Xmas decorating starts after Halloween.). It took her a week to put down the "floor garland" this year.
This is going to be hell. I do Christmas but as a casual, light and fun thing. Lots of pressure this season, on top of normal family stresses, what with going to Mom's.
BUT! Back to the good stuff:
Like I said, the male and I had our at-home Xmas already and I got great loot. One big present and a series of little things, as is pretty normal for us. I'll start with the little stuff...
I got two new pairs of 00g silicone tunnels, powder blue and grape colored; a blue Lush bath jelly (soap that is the consistency of jello, very fun); a T-shirt that has a picture of the 9-planet solar system model with Pluto saying "weak"; full-body pajamas (complete with button up front and button butt flap); vegan jerky; nail polishes; the book "The China Study"; and other odds and ends stuff like pens, tangerines, bubble bath, etc.
The big item? M bought me a Go-Bidet!!! I'd listed two different types of bidet-mods for my bathroom that I wanted and he got me the better one of the two. It attaches to the toilet and can be rigged for cold water only or for both temps. Right now it's rigged for cold as I need to makes some changes to my bathroom vanity plumbing it turns out before I can hook in the t-connector needed.
And it works Great. I hooked it up and while sitting on the edge of the bathtub fiddled with the controls so I could see any leaks and turned it on all the way at one point... that sucker sprayed water on my ceiling.
When not in use, the bidet arm folds under the rim of the toilet with the use of a little lever on the main fixture that sits to the right of the seat. When you want to use it or move where the water is spraying while in use, you easily push on the little lever and it swivels the arm to where you want it. It has a little toggle-gliding switch thing that allows you to adjust water pressure and temperature (if you have water water hooked up).
I like it so much. Here's the link so you can see better what the hell I'm talking about: Go Bidet site
TMI female issue ahead for the squeamish: Females, if you've never used a bidet before, be sure to try one at first opportunity. Whether you have or not, I'd suggest getting the GoBidet. Not just for giving your nethers a bath every time you go to the bathroom, it is also excellent to clean up after sex when you have all that excess lube and bodily fluids going on. Using a Keeper, I don't have the period mess anymore but if you use pads still this thing would be Awesome for during-period cleansing and fresh-keeping.
I got bad-ass loot.
