highlights of 2006 - part 4
december 24th
christmas eve and i'm not feeling the christmas cheer. could be a result of working retail, no snow...who knows. we are having family over for yummy eats and drinks. i love my family - they are a group of really funny, interesting and original people. to quote my aunt pam, we are "normal dysfunctional". it's this normal dysfunction i am sort of dreading tonight. one on one i enjoy my relatives but sometimes as a large group i find it stressful. i'm not in the mood.
we are all making small chit chat. i mentioned earlier in the month to my aunt that i really really REALLY wanted to sing carols on xmas eve. i hadn't sung carols in years and it is all i really wanted to do. she put together a bunch of carols and made copies for everyone. the moment comes. i suggest we sing carols expecting everyone to laugh and not go for it. how wrong i am!!!! we sing a bunch of carols. lots of laughing and few full efforts. even boppa is joining in (he doesn't really have a voice). i'm in full xmas mode. what a wonderful gift to me.

Christmas eve at my house was interesting. I ended up leaving on xmas day bc my grandfather was giving me a complex. We can chat about it another time. What made it a fun event was that my uncle, his gf, and my mom gave me constant hugs.
Hugs make everything better.
you've mentioned your grandfather to me before. MEN!! :)
yes. i miss your hugs.
couch jumping sunday?
