Mele Kalikimaka!

After breakfast, we opened presents. Mom & Dad had different ideas about opening presents. Mom was totally focused on opening them very carefully so she could give the wrappings back to Lori to use next year. Dad honed in on the cookies; he didn't open any presents.

Mom started on presents, while Dad finished his coffee.

Mom meticulously unwrapped presents, Dad ate cookies.

Mom got a cat shirt and purple pajamas. Purple is her favorite color. And she now likes cats; she tolerated them but didn't like them when we were growing up.



We spent a quiet evening at home. From the time she woke up Mom had been having dizzy spells. In fact, when she woke up & tried to go to the bathroom, she was so dizzy she fell on the bed. Throughout the day she had bouts of dizziness. I think it might be a positional vertigo since she also experienced the dizziness once when she went from a sitting to a lying position. Positional vertigo can occur in older persons for no underlying reason. Dad was feeling too cold to get out of bed. Curtis came over and picked up the rolls, pie, and salmon and took them to Aunty Judy's house.

Merry Christmas to All! And Happy Birthday to Lorna & Alvin!
