I have been Santaed! I went to the mailroom to find some packages I was execting and there was an extra! And inside was a nice fuzzy blankie with cats and dogs. And a lovely homemade bag with a loveier story behind it, and all the makings of an emergency overnight kit. The good kind of emergency kit, with green/gold sparkly nail polish and lotion and all kinds of nice stuff. And some nifty butterfly thingies for the wall, which is great timing since I'm about to start tackling redoing the dog's room.
[Yes, I just called it the dog's room. Stop rolling your eyes. It could also be called the guest room, or the spare room, or the book room (it doesn't quite qualify as the library). But it also happens to be where the dog set up shop when she moved in. So.]
I'm pretty sure I figured out my Santa from the UPS drop off location. But then, she figured me out last year just from the word "fragile" on the side of the box.
Did I tell you guys about the Yankee Swap I participated in yesterday? At one point, I had a Christmas Story action figure -- the dad and the Major Award. It was hilarious, and people were hilarious about it. Someone asked what I had, from across the room, and I just held it up and said, "It says 'fra-gee-lay." Good times.
(I have no idea what you're talking about)

I could have bought the Wall Street Journal, instead.

The movie A Christmas Story??
Jesse, it must be Italian!
ita, watch this: [link] And then watch it a thousand more times.
The movie A Christmas Story??
There's a movie called that?
Seriously, I hadn't quite registered that. I think my brain never saw the capitals.
I think the clip probably works better with context. But leg lamp references do make a little more sense to me now.
My sister-in-law got my brother leg-lamp pajamas this year. The shirt says "It's a major award." I wish I was going to be here when he opens them. Last year I got him a Red Ryder BB gun.
"You'll shoot your eye out, kid." Good times.
