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.
I like Matt's kind of naughty.
The kids both decided to hit the sack without dessert. Don't know if that means they are sick or that dinner was so good, there was no room for pie.
Santa is happy that the stocking items filled the stockings just right, no overflow and no empty spaces. Woot.
So tired. Ready to call it a night.
It was a rough Christmas for one family at mass: the adult daughter fainted during the service, and the EMTs were called. She had gotten herself into one of the vestibules, so nobody could see what was going on, but she had plenty of attention, and after checking in with them, the priest had the mass continue on. Once the EMTs had taken her out on a stretcher, the priest told us she seemed fine and was just going to the hospital for observation.
But yikes! Poor woman. I hope she's okay.
I have managed to get sick and dump a litre of water over my laptop and papers.
I want to be in Jamaica already, not staring at the contents of my big bag all over the departure lounge.
