So we're not celebrating Christmas until Friday or Saturday in the Merrin household. But I'm still going to midnight service. It feels kind of strange. I've never not celebrated Christmas on Christmas, but my sister's not coming down until Friday with her boyfriend, and there's a rumor that my ever elusive older brother will be joining the festivities either Friday or Saturday, depending on the vagaries of his wife's morning sickness. I cannot roll my eyes enough. (About the brother, not the sister. The sister is fine, I love her.)
Bah. There's nothing like family to disappoint you and make you sad. Nothing like my older brother, anyway.
My grandmother continues to be the craziest crazy that ever crazied. I cannot handle her for more than five minute bursts, because I start to think that maybe I'm the one that is confused. It's really weird.
I'll be around tomorrow, but I figure not a lot of you will be, so Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all of you. You guys have definitely made the last few months livable, and I thank you for that. :)
