I took Christmas off this year. The thought of shlepping to either of my sisters’ places didn’t excite me this year. Even if I went, it would have felt like I was just going through the motions. Instead, I’m sitting on my couch eating Chinese takeout.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

One of the nice things about making a beef tenderloin filet for Xmas eve dinner, is having steak and eggs for breakfast the next morning.
This was Matilda's BF's first xmas with us, and I think he was a bit overwhelmed with the muchness of stuff.
He's a huge Spider-Man fan and I got him a cool sweater that subtly but clearly evokes Spidey.
I was gifted several gorgeous scarves.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What a mix of specific and vague!

As opposed to love is in your future? Or as is “open your presents one of them is love”?
After it poured all day yesterday it’s finally sunny here again (one day only!) so happy Christmas miracle to that.
Feel like I should do something to feel more christmassy but not sure what.
