First Christmas Present for This YEA

Yesterday was the official students’ holiday in BG and I had a day off from the university, that i.e. no lectures in the evening!! YAY!!

I tried to organize something for several of my colleagues from the group but as it turned out everything had been booked for a month or so, in a nutshell – no no success! Hope to have this opportunity some other time though!

The other option was to go to A’s, as I actually did! I have been spending more time in his place recently rather than going to restaurants or bars but that is the only time to see him!! So I would prefer to spend it with him at home (either his or mine) rather than just being stuck at a fancy place. So he mad the dinner – some rice with ham as they eat it in New Orleans area, and played video games – correct, correct! That is the first time for me to play Play Station based Super Mario race with joy sticks but I could admit I performed well and it was fun, fun! We went on with Boggle as usual together with his parents and he drove me back home. Nothing unusual, another ordinary!

By the time we were at my place things went differently! Then he pulled out a yellow bag to give me his year’s Christmas present!! Woo-hoo time for the holiday season to start ;-) It was a special red rectangular box he brought from Switzerland, as the international warranty said. I opened it to see a wrist watch. A golden elegant ladies’ watch with a circular face he bought it from the same place where his but a summer later. This was my last-Christmas wish to be honest, but as he told me he could not find a non crappy watch for a decent price. He really insisted on exchanging presents now because he would be gone to the States in a week and at the same time wanted to see how well it fits me.

Now I have to bring it to a watchmaker to extract a couple of parts from the clasp so it is not that loose around my wrist! And then I am good to go!!
To tell the truth, I was also impatient to give him the present. Actually, it was good that I bought it few hours before that otherwise it would be a very awkward situation. The wallet and belt I had chosen were things he needed indeed! I have had this idea for several months now because his current money-holder is really shabby. And the belt is something he would always need. So I guess they match together well.

So, the weather outside is cooling down, as it is supposed to be for this time of the year, we are expecting snow tonight – yay! – everything is decorated at work, at home, on the streets, so are the presents – kindly welcome!!! ;-)
