Merry Christmas, folks.

I had a great early dinner with my grandparents and their friends. Drank spiked egg nog on the huuuuge deck in rural Lousiana watching the cows across the street freak out at nothing, eating turkey and battling extraordinarily outsized mosquitoes.

My grandma makes GREAT turkey.

I got to eat extremely southern food in an extremely southern potluck Christmas. Spent a lot of my evening talking guitar hero with an awesome ten year old with great taste in games (Who is giving me his old Nintendo 64 for christmas; score!). Also played with a beagle puppy while it's owners dueled with death riding ATV's shirtless and helmetless up and down the rough road. Oh, to be twelve again.

Got into a one-sided (aka- I didn't say anything, I swear!) argument about the non-existance of global warming and how logging is great with an old man named "Butch".

I spent yesterday reading "Where the Red Fern Grows" on a Mississippi beachfront watching rain clouds roll in while my grandparents and mom gambled in a huge Casino. My idea of a vacation. It made me sad to see all the broken up oak trees on the drive down the coast, though. Poor trees. Stupid hurricanes.

Rent is covered for January, so I'm less stressed out about that.

All in all, a lovely Christmas. Even if my grandmother does insist on putting creepy little fake feathered birds on the tree. In the spirit of Christmas, I will let zombie finches be her thing in peace.

So, good tidings, everyone.
