I realized moments ago that I think I need booze to cope with my mother this holiday, and my sister may not have any. And I get in at 10:30pm, and surely stores will be closed/not allowed to sell. Oh no!! I just texted her to check. I really wanted to bring the marshmallow vodka, but didn't have a three ounce liquid holder available.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
We are drinking, snacking, and watching a DVD of The Snowman that my dad gave to my mom for Hanukkah last night. Later we will read the rest of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" and a variety of other Christmas books. We generally end with "A Child's Christmas in Wales" and then pick up again with "The Christmas Day Kitten" or somesuch on Christmas Day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, phoo. That's Koch Brothers toilet paper.
You know, as much as I want to wipe my ass with the Koch Brothers, I will not allow them to profit from it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What dogs want.
So true. I will note, many of those were stinky.

The kids have opened their Christmas Eve presents - fleece balaclavas that make them look like ninjas and wish for snow so they could go skiing (they have never been skiing) and A Child's Christmas in Wales illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. We have also done our traditional read of The Tailor of Gloucester. No more twist!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
EM has laid out a lovely antipasti tray, and most of the prezzies are wrapped. Nibbling on prosciutto and roasted peppers and fancy cheese.
We've wrapped Emmett's gift in a sneaky sized Disney box.
JZ and Matilda are off to Children's Mass with the xmas pageant/parade.
Dinner will start at 6 or 7.

Tom and I have continued our laaaaaaaaazy day. But I did make a spinach lasagna! It's cooling now. I'll go over to feed smonster's kitties soon, but other than that, it's all very low key.
