I have decided that this will be the last year I try and split Christmas between multiple families. First her's, then mine. Sometimes it is the other way around. I have come to feel sympathy for children of divorced parents, and all the more thankful that I have never known that distance. Next year, we plan to have Christmas at our house, everyone invited, nobody required. However, I plan on being selfish. For the first time in (at that point) 9 years, I will not leave my house. If the family wants to see me, they are more than welcome to stop by. I will not leave my house.
Only had to attend 1 Christmas Mass this year, therefore I missed out on a lot of opportunities to be terribly amused. Here is a game for all of you that attend some sort of religious service which you find boring, but is important to your family: look for a hot girl in the crowd. Don't look at her, she's probably not interesting. Instead, in an ever-increasing radius, try and find everyone around her that is surreptitiously checking her out, imagining terribly unchristian things during mass. Those glances, I assure you, are much more fun to read than a missal.
As for the booty: I received much clothing this year. I appreciate that, as the more clothes I have, the longer I can go before having to do laundry. Further, I am a clothes-whore. I admit this. In my defense, I care little for labels, so at least I'm not the lowest level of clothes-whore. I also got a foam mattress topper thingy. I believe NASA uses this stuff. I have not yet slept on it, though I look forward to the chance. I am also the proud new owner of the 85 lbs. complete collection Calvin and Hobbes boxed set. Seriously, I dont' know if I should read it or bench-press it. But I shall love it regardless of its cumbersome weight.
