home for the holidays...

Christmas was wonderful. debboamerik's family welcomed me like a long-lost child, even her religiously/politically conservative uncles/aunts/cousins. there were piles of presents and even more piles of food, lots of hugs and laughs and fun, and tons of kids to run around and play with when the adults got too overwhelming. debboamerik and I didn't even fight, in spite of our both being rather socially anxious and getting sick right in the middle of the trip. her parents bought coffee and sausages for me to have in the mornings, and her grandmother gave me homemade cannoli. oh! my Christmas gift from debboamerik was a Craftsman steel toolbox and a set of wrenches (which prompted her dad to make a joke about cliched lesbian gifts :-P); I gave her black pearl earrings to match the black pearl pendant her father gave her for her high school graduation.

I'm a little behind on my holiday baking, but most of the local folks have been gifted. it's been primarily cookies this year, but I'm just as willing to do bread or other things if requested. if you're not local to me and I haven't talked to you about it, you need to let me know if and what you want. I still owe fafou, eselgeist, and melebeth; scooterbird et al. will get theirs whenever we set a date for 12th Night or birthday madness.

off to deliver more goodies; I hope your celebration in honor of the return of the light was all that you hoped it would be. blessed be in the new year!

fun is my spiritual path, ma petite amie, holy days, we start and end with family
