Chapter 152 Christmas Eve

"Did Kate get my Christmas present?"

On the phone was Lisa's excited voice.

Catherine was still thinking about the gift for Elsa, but she didn't expect that the package Lisa gave to her would arrive first.

"Um."

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

She suddenly thought of Victoria, the wife of David Beckham who once wore rootless high heels.

"Lisa, how could you even think of making something like this?"

"I found that ballet shoes were really uncomfortable, and donkey hoof shoes were not popular in Europe at all, so I was wondering if I could make a unique shoe. Plus last time

When I celebrated your birthday, do you still remember the horse costume? I got inspiration from it, and then I came up with this experiment."

"Yeah?"

Catherine moved the phone to the other side, held it between her shoulders, and picked up the pair of rootless high heels.

This pair of high heels were black in color and made of elastic fabric. Catherine took off her shoes and socks, and then put the shoes on.

This pair of shoes is indeed rootless. In order to maintain stability at the bottom, plus Lisa's so-called inspiration, the bottom is thickened and enlarged, forming a horseshoe shape. It does look a bit like the pair of "Hot Mom"

the difference.

Moreover, after putting on these shoes, it is like putting on a pair of stockings, but there is no support at the heel, so you have to stand on tiptoe by yourself, otherwise you will not be able to maintain balance.

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

Elsa’s hobby is watching movies, should we think of something in this regard?

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

Emma's voice came from outside the door. 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 we should order a bigger Christmas tree, but our door is not that big."

"Isn't the size just right last time?" Catherine asked strangely.

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

Bruce, who was in the restaurant, said seriously.

"I do not think so."

Emma firmly rejected Bruce's opinion.

"But this is a day worth remembering, my dear."

Bruce stood up.

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

Catherine wiped the cold sweat from her head.

Christmas in Europe and the United States is as important as the Spring Festival in China, but Catherine is still not too cold. But this Christmas seems to be so different, because it is also the anniversary of her parents, Catherine is thinking, should she buy them too?

some gifts.

"Where's Elsa?" Catherine asked.

"She's taking a shower."

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

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

"Kane, take me to Manhattan."

This man named Kane has now become his personal bodyguard and driver. His face with ferocious scars is really effective against those hooligans who dare to come close.

Maybe it’s because Christmas is approaching and the festive atmosphere is strong.

Catherine had no intention of admiring this unique scenery. What she had been thinking about was the gift for her parents and Elsa.

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

As for the gift for Elsa, Catherine was still troubled.

home theater?

It’s so stale. The super panoramic theater in the villa is definitely the coolest home theater system. There seems to be no one more luxurious than that.

"What would Elsa like?"

Catherine had a headache.

But soon, Catherine smiled evilly - she had already thought of a very good gift.

Then, the time finally came to December 24th.

Christmas Eve is of great significance in Europe and the United States, just like New Year's Eve in China.

"Kate, this TV looks really good."

What Emma was boasting about was Catherine's new TV set that was not yet on the market.

A completely flat 25-inch color TV using Dazzle Vision technology.

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

In fact, Sanders and his family already have such a TV set in their home.

Catherine's code name for this TV is "tv-go!".

What Catherine wants to express is a feeling of "TV running". She has brought television technology to a new field. The term "Great Leap Forward" is not an exaggeration to describe Catherine's current TV industry.

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

Catherine cut a piece of turkey from the plate.

Although Catherine's family is slightly conservative, many things seem to be described as deviant. This may be related to the fact that they are atheists. But even though they are atheists, in fact, the family still has some respect for Jesus Christ.

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

In fact, many Americans later had this view.

"In fact, this can be greatly improved," Catherine vowed: "If we use interpolation resolution and color enhancement, we can get a better display effect and look more comfortable."

"Maybe." Bruce shrugged. In fact, he didn't know much about this aspect at all.

However, it seems that these technologies are a bit redundant for large CRT TVs, because CRT monitors have a fine phosphor layer, which can perfectly achieve point-to-point. TVs and monitors with thick pixels such as LCDs need to be very strong in this regard.

technology. For example, the resolution of LCD monitor a is 800600, and the resolution of LCD monitor b is 640480. The two are the same size. Then, a video with a resolution of 640480 played in full screen when placed on b is definitely better than that on a.

It is much clearer. This is because the size of a is different from the video. Within 55 pixels, if the 44 picture is stretched, there will be problems of color homogenization and blurring. Point-to-point cannot be achieved, but through interpolation, the video can be distinguished.

The rate is increased to the resolution 800640 required by screen A - but the clarity cannot be improved - so A can display the same picture effect as B.

"By the way" Catherine suddenly took out a big gift box.

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

Bruce and Emma looked at each other.

"Thank you...Kate."

Bruce hesitated for a moment, then took the gift box, feeling that it still had some weight.

Then, they opened the gift box.

It turned out that there was another gift box inside.

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Catherine strangely, only to find that Catherine was laughing at him.

Then he opened the gift box again.

A gift box again?

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

“…Ticket to Hawaii?”

Bruce picked up the ticket strangely.

"A round trip ticket," Catherine added.

"What is this, Kate?"

Emma is also a little strange.

"Of course it's a ticket for you." Catherine said matter-of-factly.

"Tickets for us?"

Bruce and Emma looked at each other.

"Yes, Hawaii, ten days."

Bruce and Emma looked at each other again, but Emma looked away with a blush.

"It seems good."

The parents' matter was finally settled, but Elsa's gift had to wait until bedtime at night.

What was playing on the TV was Angel TV's Christmas special, and the ratings were quite good.

The TV in Catherine's home is flat-screen and has excellent picture quality, so it looks perfect.

After returning to the room, Catherine took out another gift box and handed it to Elsa.

"Happy birthday, Elsa."

"Thanks……"

Elsa was a little surprised and took the gift box from Catherine's hand. She seemed not to have expected that Catherine would give her this thing.

"Open it and take a look"

Catherine closed the door.

Elsa opened the gift box, but there was a suit of clothes inside.

"Try to put it on?" Catherine smiled mischievously.

"this……"

Elsa hesitated.

"Hurry up~"

Catherine urged, and at this time, Elsa changed her clothes.

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

This seems to be a one-piece maid outfit, tight-fitting, and cool in design. The hem of this dress is very short, and it is padded with a lot of lace, which opens the skirt, and the upper body of the dress is also designed to be backless.

It also exposed the entire shoulder.

Because there is air conditioning in the room, freezing is impossible.

"This..." Elsa was speechless.

At this time, Catherine seemed to have found the feeling she had when she was teased before. Now, when she used these tricks on Elsa, she realized that this thing was actually so interesting.

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

"Okay, Elsa, this is your gift."

She suppressed her laughter and then looked serious.

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

Elsa put on this dress, and in an instant, a cute little princess appeared.

"It's perfect." Catherine looked at it and felt really good.

"Yeah?"

This is a small white dress. Although it is very thick, it does not look bloated because it is tight-fitting.

"Happy birthday, Elsa~"

Catherine gently pressed her lips to Elsa's lips.
