Merry Xmas Peoples!

So far today I have gotten up to help my mother put the turkey int he oven. Went back to bed. Gotten up and ate bacon. Went back to bed. Gotten up and went to mass. Now I am eating leftover lasagna, and waiting, waiting, waiting to open presents. I may have to go back to bed.

Merry Christmas, and/or happy Sunday.

But I found then yesterday.

I'm just not going to check the best by date.

Good idea.

My own Christmas Miracle: A member of my family got me jewelry I really like! (I know how that sounds, but their taste and mine do not normally mesh, since they think badly made faux Indian stuff is the bomb)

LED/MP3 Christmas tree. (For next year, presumably.)

Merry Christmas, y'all. Had a good night last night - hung out with my college roommate, drank good champers, had good soup, and watched cheesy movies (there may have been singing along to Meet Me In St. Louis). Today, I have shot my friends' cat (they're out of town, the cat is diabetic), come back here, and am now eating oatmeal. Very festive.

Yay for a good night, Juliana. I hope tonight is as well.

Merry Christmas and since I doubt I'll be around at sunset, Happy Hanukkah.

Oops. I hear crying. Gotta run.

And...the pies are still in my trunk. Found my mother, who was too lazy to get my father off the beach, so I'll have to call his cell separately.

After I get the pies and start the coffee.

Happy Returns of the Day and the Season, all.

PIE!!

(did you buy me any?)

Note to self, read entire sentence.

The post office drama, for those who have been following, has come to a close! I take back everything bad I said about them yesterday, because the mailman just came by to deliver a package. On a Sunday. Which is also Christmas.

It wasn't my Buffista Secret Santa gift, as I'd assumed, but a present from my grandparents who own an antiquarian bookshop. They got me a 1942 Boston Cooking School Cookbook, which is perfect. It's not a first edition, obviously, but it's in near-perfect condition, and I love it so so so so much. (I collect old cookbooks, and this one's hard to find in good condition. The reprints, yes, but not old ones like this.)

So anyway, that's my happy Christmas story. I hope that all Buffistas are having as wonderful a day!
