We had a lovely Christmas last evening, and I had a quiet Christmas breakfast with my Mom before she left for work. This was probably the first "normal" Christmas we've had in years.
I see now that I was clearly bogarting some good-family-ma, and I release it now, hoping that it's not too late. {{{Everyone that's having a rough day}}}
libkitty, from earlier, I think you did the right thing too. And I wanted to tell you that I've been sporting your scarf the last few days, and telling my family about the "internet people" and my seekrit santa gift, and they all thought it was very generous and awesome.
Catching up here reminded me of what excellent people you all are (all the Buffistas). Many blessings and good wishes to you all, no matter your holiday.
I'm biding my time until I can make an escape. I need to shower at some point. Right now I just have a headache. I'll probably go see a movie at some point just to get away from these people.
No don't go see a movie! Everyone's here and they're cranky.
That sounds like heaven compared to here.
I discovered last night that something that really helps when family is making Christmas suck? Is fragging bots.
So, you know, if you can't get to a movie maybe you can get to an Xbox.
One of my stocking stuffers.
Oh my. A gift created just for Hec.
Nope, no Xbox down here in San Diego. Right now I just want to make it through today and hit the road tomorrow morning.
I got a little MP3 player! Yeah! I was so surprised -- and cute Russia-Bohemia slippers and an amythest ring and necklace, and it's been a pretty good Xmas.
Had EXCELLENT yummy ham; it was such a good ham.
Hoping everyone is having a good Xmanukaza.
MY fam's been pretty decent today. It's very mellow right now; napping and quietly playing with stuff. My dad's immersed in his new World of Warcraft book -- he's so cute. And later there will be pie!
My mother just uttered the phrase "Working like a nigger." I don't know these people and I don't want to be here.
