Christmas 'n stuff
Well, here we are again.
For some reason this year, I am not really looking forward to Christmas. I am not sure why though. Perhaps it's because it just seems to get more and more hectic. Perhaps its because I am on call this weekend. Perhaps Christmas has just lost its magic to the focus of not enough money and not enough time.
Man, I need a real vacation.
Don't misunderstand, I am glad to see Meg and the kids. Alec and Fyre are going to be around, and even though I know she will miss her family on Chrismas day, I think she will have fun with us. Where else can you see a 1 year old try to raise her eyebrows. I don't think I have seen anything that funny in a long time.
Oh well, don't listen to the tired, grumpy, sleep deprived guy...listen to the fun guy. He will start here:
First off: We will be attending Zion at the late, late, late service on Christmas eve, I expect to see you all there. There are many who I have not seen in a long time, and they had best be giving some hugs.
I will now share some thoughts.
It seems Fyre has some fudge with her. It seems to have a grand reputation amongst my sisters in law. I don't think I have sampled any Fyre Fudge, but I must do so. I also must say that I look forward to waking up on Chrismas morning in the Johnston house. It will involve a large number of people who will have some serious bed head. I expect it will be amusing to see Alec in his PJ pants and his t-shirt. And Fyre in her dorm sweats and Alec's t-shirt. NO...silly people, they will NOT be wearing the same shirt. Perhaps if Alec was about twice his size maybe. Duh.
Now, as for the rest of you. For those of you who have not seen my amazing daughter try to raise her eyebrows, you will need to see this.
Elica, send a hey to Jenn. Hope to see you at church. The belly button jewel is not the best church outfit. Just a thought.
Ali, smile and wave. See you and your brother, and his hair, at church.
Kate, I am still not sure how it is that I am running a web site that I didn't sign up for...but I am quite sure it is your fault. (Kate is now saying oops, and "bwa ha ha ha") Don't worry. I am teaching Althea how to run it. And I say bwa ha ha ha right back.
Anne, I know you have gotten me the best gift ever. Please note that Erin found yours, and also...it is the best gift ever. I do not think I will even attempt to use it.
Alec, I say "Hola Alec", and you will say "Hola Teem". Nuf said.
Audrey Z- You should bring me some pot pie. I know you are quite good at this. (if you even read this)
TerAvest mafia- Please do not damage my sister in law any more than you already have. :-) Thanks for watching out for my kid now and then.
For those of you who stumble in here, and I have not mentioned you in the above, just drop me a comment, and I will be sure to create a random thought for you here, or in person if I see you in the real world.
I am watching the Jim Carry version of The Grinch. Freekin' weird. Wow.
Merry Christmas, carry on then.
