Cozified, better late than never

In a startling post-Christmas discovery, 3 more presents for Amber. Who knew that they had been 'accidently kicked' under my mom's bed in the wrapping process?

So I'm falling asleep last night thinking about how although I was grateful for what my parents bought me, I couldn't help but notice that one earnestly desired (and reasonably priced) item had not appeared on the blessed morning. 'How could I give my mom a list of only 4 items that I sincerely wanted, and one of the cheapest is missing?' I realize this sounds petty, but do the math with me, you'd most likely wonder too. Right? A little bit at least?

This morning I woke up daydreaming about how cozy it would be to slip my feet into some new slippers, the aforementioned item. I stagger upstairs still drunk on sleep, and then run into my mom who is exiting the bathroom while I'm on my way in. She bids me good morning and then asks, 'So how did you like those slippers?'

'What slippers?' I say, 'I didn't open any yesterday, and have actually been wondering about them.'

So she heads upstairs and 5 minutes later returns to produce not one, but THREE wrapped gifts, and an honest apology. 'I thought your pile looked kinda small yesterday compared to the girls'.'

'I didn't really notice,' I say smiling with a gentle hint of sarcasm.

So now, cozy slippers, a new scarf and some hair accessories... It's a Christmas miracle!
