A Festivus for the rest of us
First off, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas...and all that jazz that follows thereafter!
I woke up at around 10 AM this morning (sleeping in has been rare over the last few weeks, so I take them when I can get them, even if it is Christmas Day!), ate a quick breakfast and proceeded downstairs for the traditional exchanging of gifts that everyone seems to be quite fond of.
My family knows me so well. The gifts I got were half practical, and half dumb...just the way I like it! I got a much needed infusion of clothing, reading and beef jerky, while I also got a minature glow-in-the-dark basketball/hoop for my room and a waffle maker. We also have a new table hockey game!
I'm loving my desk calendar featuring the accidental wit and wisdom of George W. Bush. The funniest quote I've seen so far is this: "If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, the economy will grow." LOVING IT!
Tradition in this house dictates that we get one unhealthy sugary cereal per year, and that it comes at Christmas time. This year, it was Choco Blast cereal, which I've surprisingly found to be quite delicious. My heart rate is going to have to slow down though before I can get another bowl! ;)
Col and I combined to get our parents something they would never buy for themselves...a digital camera! Half the fun is watching my dad play with it and not saving any of the pictures he's taking! Although I work for a very cheap company, I'm glad my "Christmas bonus" coupon for 10 free digital photos will indeed get used after all...
Everybody who's somebody in this family is coming over tomorrow for our annual Boxing Day Extravaganza! More food and frolicking! Huzzah! I can't wait for our gag gift exchange...every year, we have a wild-card gift consisting of a shower curtain with clowns on it. Whoever gets it the year previous has to re-package it and throw it into the pile for someone else to recieve. I'm going to have to top the Mr. Potato Head that I chipped in last year!
Hope you are all having a happy holidays! I'm out...
