Last night during my evening ritual/prancing around, I did turn on the tv to watch midnight mass. Felt a little sad, but I can't go there....Finally got a little sleep. Christmas morning, everybody up! Holy cow, Santa came to Negril & left something under the tree for baby girl & I!!! Nice...First things first. Pop the champagne & make Mimosas with fresh orance juice (from Tony on the beach). That is our family tradition always - Mimosas 1st thing Christmas morning. My Mom always loved it! I toasted my Mom, Aunt, & sister. My voice started to crack, but I smiled and pulled myself together. My husband & daughter just smiled, they know how hard it is for me. Okey dokey, bottle of chamage down, I'm drunk, lets go to Alfred's! Hubby has a Christmas morning swim on the way. What a beautiful day! I am blessed... Alfred's is crowded, but service isn't too long. We go back to Rondel & hang on the beach. Baby girl blew up my pink floating chair. We lounge around & I decide I need to get on the raft....OMG, too funny. I think I peed myself laughing. I had so much lotion on that I couldn't get on the raft. It kept flying out from underneath me. Hubby & daughter are holding the raft while I am trying to get on it & I flip backwards into the water. I almost drowned I was laughing so much. I hope nobody was filming & putting drunk lady trying to mount raft on utube!!!! I was almost embarrassed to get out of the water. Of course the redheads were having a big time making fun of me. WTF - I don't drink very often - its Christmas - give me a break!We order 2lbs of pork today. Can't miss a meal! Baby girl heads to her room. Hubby & I walk up the beach. Damn, I need a drink. We stop at Bourbon Beach. Man, their dirty bananas are very good! We run into Seymore. He wants us to come to the Bourbon Beach Party. He will pick us up, get us VIP seats, take good care of us, & take us back to our hotel when we want to go home. Right....He doesn't know who I am travelling with. They can't stay up past 10:00 and that is really late! We head back to the room & shower. Where are we going tonight? Rondel has a Christmas dinner. The dining area looks really nice. Carl asks if we are eating there. I really don't want to eat turkey & ham, I can eat that at home anytime. We would rather go somewhere else. We have a drink & watch the sunset. Then we catch a cab for a short ride to Jamaica Tamboo. We are the only people there. We order lobster pizza & a veggie pizza. Lovely evening, just the three of us. Our driver comes back to pick us up 2 hours later. Balo went to a reggae concert near Sav tonight. He wanted us to go. He said it lasts all night! I'd be game, but the other two would need a cot so they could get their sleep. Hubby passes out on the bed, while baby girl & I chat. We bought some sweet potato pudding & bread pudding from the coco bread guy on the beach yesterday. Had the sweet potato pudding - like a really moist cake - not bad. She goes back to her room. I stay up really late & break into the bread pudding early in the am. That is some good stuff. Looks like a texas size muffin, very moist with raisins. Wish I had a cold glass of milk.....
