Arrived 3 hours early for our flight, so we got cocktails and are lounging around in the bar. Vacation has begun!

Our yearly Christmas guest, Ed The Surly Elf, is here for the week. He is an old college friend of the Dh's and we've had him for the holidays every year for the last 23 years. He's a wonderful guy and it's great to have him here. He's a drama teacher, gay, and has a dark sense of humor so brings a delightful touch of hilarious and filthy humor to our holidays. Sadly, the heat out I the guest house is not installed yet, so it's not as cozy as we wanted it to be, but he's making do with a huge, fancy space heater. He's a trouper.
DH and I are only giving one token gift this year, as the house renovations ate all our money,, so it's going to be quick work in the morning, then off to the movies. We saved Star Wars for the centerpiece of the day and I can't wait!
I wholehearted support the viewing of Star Wars as a holiday celebration.
Yay vacation! Enjoy the cocktails. May smooth travels await you.
I'm chilling for a few before the kids get here. I had a big lunch so I haven't been up to starting dinner. It may be late.
Yay cocktails!! I have just landed in the frozen Midwest. Would've liked cocktails on the plane but figured I out not take any risks driving in snow :(
Also yay guesthouse!
I really hope to have a Holiday party or two wherever I end up living after here. Between Thanksgiving and New Year and then maybe another one mid-January. I assume mac will come to stay with me over actual Holidays or that we will both travel to my parents if we end up living cross country. Parties with mac at home do not work as he surls and pouts and I will never have a place big enough to send him to his own wing.
