OMG according to the website, there are 2500 stories in the Yuletide collection this year. Wow. That's a lot of stories.

I'll nominate Beth to the nice list.....although naughty might offer a greater range of options.

Merry Happy to all!

He had weeks to get you a present.

He sent me out to get the iTouch I wanted. I don't trust him to buy tech, anyway. I'll give him a pass.

although naughty might offer a greater range of options.

I've found my presents get better when I've been naughty.

It's after midnight, so Merry Christmas, my Buffistas!

We did festivities with my family today (lunch and The Excessively Generous Presents* with my Dad, and dinner and Too Much Wine with my mom and stepdad). Came home to find the dalmatian peed in the kitchen (which was a nice change from her usual pooping in the kitchen), washed the dishes, and made an apple crisp for tomorrow.

Tim is, for some reason, shoveling the driveway right now. Maybe he's expecting Santa to stroll up the driveway?

Also, I may barf. That's literal, not a metaphor. Don't know the genesis of the quease (although perhaps the Too Much Wine referenced above might be the culprit), but nothing is alleviating it. That's disconcerting.

*(One of the Christmas presents my dad got us is the DVD of Despicable Me, which we haven't seen yet. I made gleeful noises when I opened it.)

Just Bob and me and Kripkat and Avon at the casa. Making puttanesca for dinner (but I'm going to use the noodles Bob brought from Italy. It's a celebration!) Watched Easy A. Not sure about Rite Aid on the nice list now, since their medicine was not as good as mucinex (no wonder it was half price!) HOWEVER earlier in the week we left a Santa hat lying on the couch and the cats have been alternately snuggling with it. SANTA CLAWS. ADORABLE.

Kids' Christmas Production went well. mac and I had a screaming fight beforehand, but got there on time and he did his lines great.

played some games with mac, brother, brother bf and had snacky food. Friend came by with presents (I need to get stuff for her kids) and she hung for a bit. Now stockings are done and I should go to bed, well, I should really knit more on my mom's thing. I suck.

I know I am forgetting some presents that I have stashed somewhere. hate that.

Love y'all, you are my sounding board and my sanity. Merry Christmas, Happy Winter, Celebratory end to another year together.

Christmas Dessert Consumed: Corncake with cranberries in caramel sauce.

This was a new one, but so very delicious.

Behold the weirdest headline you're going to read this Christmas:

Convicted Urine Collector in Trouble Again.

It's the "Again" that is making me laugh and laugh.

I have officially been declared Naughty by best friend's wife, who did not appreciate the Christmas Story leg lamp I gave him. Even better, their oldest son was gung-ho about turning it on tonight and ransacked the place to find their one lightbulb that would work: a bright red one.
