OMG, my dad, y'all
Just got this email:
I would like to invite all of you up to my house for Christmas this year. In an effort to accomodate differing work schedules, or other commitments, I hope that those who can make it for Christmas Eve (an ancient Tofelt tradition going back to Grandpa Tofelt The Elder, inventor of the Christmas tree and Leif Ericson's navigator) can be here in time for dinner around 6:00 pm. Among other delicasies Granny Style Mac 'n Cheese will be served (blatant bribery attempt). Gifts to/from those present will be opened after dessert, then all who wish to can spend the night in varying levels of luxury accomodations. Please bring stockings (no pantyhose, yuck) - to be hung by the chimney with care, of course - and we will see what Santa brings over night. All (overnighters and stayathomers, and even returneers, if you really enjoy the drive) are invited for Christmas morning. Brunchish breakfast will be 10ishish - come earlier if you want to harass er, help the cook staff. Again, gifts to/from those present will be exchanged.
Please note that insurance regulations do not allow the participation of anyone suffering from grumpiness or stress - attitude checks will be conducted randomly throughout the celebration and adjustments will be available / administered / force-fed to those in need. If you fear that you may be on Santa's poop list, please contact him at
www.santa/customerservice/rehabilitation.org and square it away before you arrive - wait times may be long, so git it on.
Looking forward to seeing you - please let our reservation desk know when we may expect you. *
*ded of laugh*
