Chapter 152: Christmas Eve

"Did Kate get my Christmas present?"

Inside the phone, it was Lisa's excited voice.

Catherine was still thinking about the gift for Elsa, but she didn't expect that the package that Lisa gave herself actually arrived first.

"Hmm."

Catherine looked at the pair of black rootless heels in front of her and felt a little speechless.

She suddenly thought of her hot mom Victoria, the wife of Beckham who had worn rootless heels.

"Lisa, how did you come up with the idea of making something like this?"

"I found that the ballet shoes were really uncomfortable, and the donkey shoes were not popular in Europe at all, so I wondered if I could make a different kind of shoe. Plus the last time I had your birthday, do you remember that horse costume? I got inspiration from that, and then I had this real product. ”

"Really?"

Catherine shifted the phone to the other side, then clipped it between her shoulders and picked up the rootless heels.

The heels were black and made of stretch cloth, and Catherine took off her shoes and socks and put them on.

This pair of shoes is indeed rootless, and the bottom is to maintain a stable dìng, coupled with Lisa's so-called inspiration, so the bottom is thickened and enlarged, becoming a horseshoe-shaped, which does look a little different from the pair of "Hot Mom".

And when you put them on, it's like putting on a pair of stockings, but there is no support at the heel, so you have to stand on your tiptoes, otherwise you won't be able to keep your balance.

After the little episode, Catherine began to think about the gift for Elsa.

Elsa's hobby is watching movies, should she think of something about it?

"Kate, what kind of Christmas tree do you think we should use?"

Emma's voice came from outside the door, and Catherine didn't have time to change her shoes, so she opened the door and walked out.

"What's wrong?" Catherine asked.

"Your father, he said there should be a bigger Christmas tree, but our door is not that big."

"Wasn't the size just right last time?" Catherine asked curiously.

"No, this time it's different, Kate. This Christmas is the 20th wedding anniversary of me and your mother."

Bruce, who was in the restaurant, said seriously.

"I don't think so."

Emma vehemently vetoed Bruce's opinion.

"But it's a day to remember, my dear"

Bruce stood up.

"Well, if you really want to do that, you can put your Christmas tree outside, and then we'll get another one and put it inside the house."

Catherine wiped the cold sweat from her head.

Christmas is as important in Europe and the United States as the Chinese New Year, but Catherine is still a little cold. But this Christmas seemed a little different, because it was still the parents' anniversary, and Catherine wondered if she should buy them some gifts too.

"Where's Elsa?" Catherine asked.

"She's taking a shower."

"Well, then I'll go out for a while."

It was a good opportunity, and Catherine quickly put on her coat and slipped out of the house.

"Kane, send me to Manhattan."

The man named Kane has now become his personal bodyguard and driver, and his face with hideous scars is really effective for those little hooligans who dare to lean over.

Maybe it's because it's close to Christmas, and the festive atmosphere is strong.

Catherine had no intention of admiring this unique landscape, what she had been thinking about was a gift for her parents and Elsa.

A gift for her parents, Catherine quickly thought of it.

As for the gift to Elsa, Catherine is still very troubled.

Home theater?

It's so unfresh, the super panoramic theater in the villa is definitely the coolest home theater system, and there seems to be nothing more luxurious than that.

"What would Elsa like?"

Catherine had some headaches.

But soon, Catherine laughed wickedly—she had already thought of a very nice gift.

Then, the time finally came on December 24th.

Christmas Eve is as important in Europe and the United States as Chinese New Year's Eve in China.

"Kate, this TV looks really good."

Emma is boasting of Catherine's new TV set, which has not yet hit the market.

A fully flat 25-inch color TV with dazzling technology.

Although the company has not yet launched this product, Catherine's family has already enjoyed this treatment in advance.

In fact, Sanders has already set up such a TV in their home.

Catherine's code name for the TV was "TV-GO!".

What Catherine wants to express is a feeling of "TV running", and she has taken TV technology to a new realm, "Big. It's no exaggeration to say "leap forward" to describe Catherine's current television industry. ,

"It's good, but it's not perfect."

Catherine cut a slice of turkey meat from the plate.

Although Catherine's family is slightly conservative, many things seem to be deviant. This may have something to do with the fact that they are atheists. But even if it's atheistic, there's still some reverence for Jesus Christ or something in the family.

"Believing in this has more benefits than not believing in this, and it is conducive to the improvement of moral character." -- That's what my parents thought of Jesus.

In fact, many Americans later felt the same way.

"In fact, this can be a big improvement," says Catherine, "and if we use interpolation resolution and color enhancement, we can get a better display and look more comfortable."

"Maybe." Bruce shrugged, in fact he didn't know anything about it.

However, the big CRT TV,It seems that these technologies are a little redundant,Because the CRT display has a fine phosphor layer,It can be perfectly realized point-to-point。 Televisions and monitors with large pixels, such as liquid crystals, require strong technology in this regard. For example, the resolution of the A LCD is 800*600, and the other B LCD is 640*480, both of which are the same size. Then,A 640*480 resolution video full-screen playback,Put it on B,It's definitely much clearer than A,This is because the size of A is not the same as the video,5*5 pixels,4*4The picture is stretched,There will be color uniformization、Blurred problem,Point-to-point,But through guò interpolation,You can increase the video resolution to the resolution required by screen A800*640 - but it can't improve the clarity - so,A can show the same picture effect as B。

"That's right," Catherine suddenly pulled out a large gift box.

"Happy Holidays, Dad, Mom. Happy wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Edson~"

Bruce and Emma glanced at each other.

"Thank you...... Kate. ”

Bruce hesitated for a moment, then took the box, feeling a little heavy.

Then, they unpack the gift box.

It turned out to be another gift box inside.

Bruce was stunned, then gave a strange look at Catherine, only to see that Catherine was smiling at herself.

Then he opened the box again.

Another gift box?

Bruce opened 9 gift boxes in a row, and then, he saw two thin sheets of paper.

"Hawaii's ...... Ticket? ”

Bruce curiously picked up the ticket.

"Round-trip airfare." Catherine added.

"What is this? Kate? ”

Emma was also a little weird.

"A ticket for you, of course." Catherine said as a matter of course.

"A ticket to us?"

Bruce and Emma glanced at each other.

"Yes, Hawaii, ten days."

Bruce and Emma looked at each other again, but Emma blushed away.

"Seems to be good."

The parents' affairs are finally settled, but Elsa's gift will not be available until the night when she goes to bed.

The TV was playing a Christmas special on Angel TV, and the ratings were pretty good.

Catherine's TV in the house is flat, and the picture effect is outstanding, so it looks perfect.

When she returned to her room, Catherine took out another gift box and handed it to Elsa.

"Happy birthday, Elsa."

"Thank you......"

Elsa took the gift box from Catherine's hand with some surprise, she didn't seem to expect Catherine to give it to herself.

"Let's open it and see"

Catherine closed the door.

Elsa opened the gift box, but inside was a dress.

"Try it out?" Catherine smiled wickedly.

"This ......"

Elsa hesitated.

"Hurry up~"

Catherine urged, and it was only then that Elsa changed her clothes.

But as soon as she put it on, Elsa realized that something was wrong.

It seems to be a one-piece maid outfit, with a tight, cool design. The skirt of this dress is very short, and it is padded with a lot of lace, which stretches the skirt open, and the upper body of the dress is also designed with an open back, and the entire shoulder is exposed.

Because there was an air conditioner in the room, it was impossible to freeze.

"It's ......," Elsa was speechless.

Catherine seemed to have found the feeling of being teased before, and now, she used these tricks on Elsa, only to realize that it was so funny.

Seeing Elsa's embarrassed look, Catherine took out another gift box.

"Alright, Elsa, this is your gift."

She stifled a laugh and then looked serious.

Elsa opened the gift box and found that it was a beautiful little dress inside. Although it is a short skirt design, it has a pair of thick cashmere socks, so it does not freeze in winter.

Elsa changed into this dress, and in an instant, a cute little princess appeared.

"It's perfect," Catherine looked at, really thinking good.

"Really?"

It's a small white dress, and although it's thick, it doesn't look bloated because it's a tight-fitting setting.

"Happy Birthday, Elsa~"

Catherine gently touched her lips to Elsa's.

Tuesday to see if you can break out ~ask for tickets~
