Is it that time of the year already? Christmas 2011 post!
This Christmas is one of the best I've had in recent years, I must say (minus the lack of snow of course, because that's just upsetting). Not just because of the gifts or anything like that, but the atmosphere. My brother's girlfriend just recently moved to an apartment in Connecticut because she got hired at ESPN. (Pretty fucking exciting guys, amirite? So proud of her.) Since she's so far away from her family (they originally lived in Pennsylvania, but a couple years ago they moved to North Carolina) and since she got lucky and got Christmas Eve and Christmas off, she ended up spending the holiday with us. :) The last time we had anyone other than the 4 of us and my neighbor here for Christmas was when we had a HUGE Christmas shindig with all of my dad's side of the family from the Bahamas AND my grandmother and her husband from my mom's side of the family. These photos don't even exist on our computer, so I'm gonna spitball it and say that happened in 2000 or 2001 (more likely 2000, because I'm pretty sure my maternal grandmother died in 2001). So yeah, 11 years... It's been a long ass time. Anyways, things got switched up a bit because of this. Unlike what we've been doing for the past few years, we had Christmas dinner the day before Christmas instead of the day after. And Christmas morning, we ate breakfast first. Normally my brother and I open our gifts, we have breakfast, and then my parents open theirs. But everything else was standard fare: we pigged out on tons of snacks and opened gifts in the afternoon with our neighbor, and at night we opened our stocking stuffers.
