I guess we didn't need to throw out the eggplant...

So, Matt and I celebrated "our Christmas," i.e., a simple, thoughtful gift exchange on Monday night, the 22nd of December because we were planning on leaving the next day for Mexico! well, that didn't work out as all the flights were full (we fly standby). So we ended up staying in Denver for two more days. But it was borderline depressingly anti-climactic because we had already opened our gifts for each other and we had even thrown away parishable produce such as the lovely eggplant we had purchased at Sunflower Market the week before... oh well, we made do with other leftover foods and tried to make the most of it. Ten points for Matt for remaining positive and trying to boost the "family morale" during our first Christmas together. I'm so thankful for my husband. And I guess relationships are more important than holiday fanfare.
