I just had a shockingly nice christmas. I mean...normally my parents manage to be annoying or embarassing or just clueless. As recently as last night at dinner, in fact. But we just had a pleasant evening, family stories were told but did not make anyone burst out crying, relatives were talked to on the phone, presents were enjoyed (and for once, everyone LIKED theirs!), food was decent, we left at a good hour...madness! Is this MY family?!?!
I feel like surely something horrible will happen tomorrow and we will all be yelling at each other and bitter. Sigh.
Is this MY family?!?!
Maybe they've been secretly replaced and somebody is trying to see if you've noticed the difference.
meara's family is Folger's Crystals?
If I pretend I didn't notice, will I get to keep the new ones? Or do I have to say I DID notice, and then I keep the new ones? I'll do whatever it takes!!!
Pssssst...I have wireless! Whee!
I'm trying to decide if I have the energy to go to my Xmas eve bar. It's a 20 minute drive from my parents place.
Feeling way better - this is like day 3 or 4 of my cold . we went to a friends house to hang for a bit - and at the end of the evening I ended up with a nice ( amatuer) massage which has done a lot for my general feeling that all is right with the world. ( ok, proseco may be helping that)
Somehow we are still buying some online gift certificates for people. Not quite sure how that happened...that's ok. everyone will be happy.
Merry Christmas ALL!!!
It's 2:30am Cali time. I think I hear the sound of hooves on the roof. All the presents are wrapped and under the tree. We all said "a small chrismtas, not too much" and yet, the tree is overflowing! A lot is for the neice. She being the only grandkid of the family, is SPOILED ROTTEN!!! And ya, I contributed to it.
With that, I wish you ALL a very Happy Christmas!!!
:)
(and big hugs to all who need due to being icky on the holidaze. Nothing worse. and also safe travels to all!!!!)
Good morning.
I have had an untraditional Christmas Eve for me, but a good one. I tried to volunteer at Saints Peter & Paul, but the coordinator was an idiot (it left me frothing at the mouth, I'm sure someone like Vortex would have gone off in magnificent style), then I exchanged presents with M (he liked everything, phew, and the Tim Horton's coffee that hereward shipped me was a HUGE hit), and then I was at my usual places for the rest of the night, and it was good. Kind of a normal night, but also with friends and presents and booze, so yay.
It could only have been better with all y'all here, and we would have needed a bigger boat at that time, so Merry Christmas!
(I'm totally a Christmas girl. Don't tell anyone.)
