This has been one hell of an interesting break.
We've always done Christmas at home with my mom's side of the family, the straight-edged Christians. It's usually nice and wholesome. We all open presents then spend the day playing boardgames and such.
Well, this year, I went with my parents to visit my sister and her fiancee in SC, then came back up to Virginia to stay at my grandmother on my dad's side for Christmas. I was gone for five days, and I seriously don't think there was hardly a second of any of those five days when I didn't have a beer in my hand. At my grandmother's, I was the only one under 50 there, and the adults treated me like one of them. They didn't censor themselves at all around me. I have never heard so much cussing in my life. I also heard my aunt and uncle talking about their sex life, and actually heard my uncle use the phrase "getting some pussy." Among many other things. My dad's side of the family makes my college friends look innocent. I also can't remember the last time I've done this many drugs within such a short period of time. All with my 48 year old aunt.
It hasn't felt like Christmas at all, but goddam, I've been having fun.
