Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Go away, 2016.

My santa sent me a Glennon Doyle Melton book I've been wanting... THANK YOU!

I got a wonderful meara card also.

Friday I'll be flying to Ohio and then back home on Monday. Then Tuesday or Wednesday leaving for Idaho. This is the winter of trips to freezing ass places that voted for the wrong person.

Me too! Thanks, meara!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

As we were prepping our holiday cards, I started to sort them by Buffistas, family friends, people who know Kelly's boyfriend C, etc so that people could sign the cards of folks they knew. I was resoundingly told no - they all wanted to sign all the cards. Which, hey cool. But for any who got cards from me, that fourth signature, with a last initial...that is Kelly's bf. My unofficial future son-in-law.

I'm having fun with the fact that I have two people with the same name living in the house this Christmas. My traditional Christmas gifts to CJ include a bunch of nerd shirts. Well, I also bought C a few nerd shirts and a couple more for Kelly. All 18 shirts are wrapped and the TO line says "Cory". Even the ones for Kelly. The boys wear different size shirts and Kelly's are very obviously hers, so it will be up to them to figure who gets what. I'm a dork, but as a family we have a tradition of wrapping at least one thing in an obnoxious/fun manner.
