So.... it's over. I've been home now for a while and all the crazy christmas traditions have played out successfully. It was not too bad this year. I have to say that it all seemed rather anti-climatic, what with all the working two jobs and moving. But that's not really such a bad thing. Christmas tends to be over-done and over-wrought.
As per tradition, we did the big christmas stuff on christmas eve. I went over to my grandma's in the morning to bake pie (minced-meat pie. Homemade from scratch with real minced-meat). Evening brought the whole famn damily (which is now only 7) over at my parent's house for the big x-mas dinner and presents.
Christmas morning dawned at 9:00 with christmas breakfast. When Luke and I were little we used to open our presents from Mom, Dad and Grandma M on christmas morning, but that ritual died out a few years ago. It's nice having a real good breakfast and taking it easy though.
For christmas dinner, we went over to Grandma D's for a light feast (ham, turkey, various salads) followed by stockings and pie. It's a nice couple days with the family. There are many nice things about having such a small clan; holiday gatherings are really easy and pretty stress free, as is holiday shopping and eating.
Leading up to the holiday itself things were pretty busy. The parents had their big party. I went to a party for Aaron, who is in town for the holidays (he's run off to Washington). I went on a hot date on Sunday.
Well, I suppose the only thing left to do is ask the question: What are you doing New Year's Eve?

Merry Christmas!
My Christmas was ok. It is not a big deal for me. I have no plans for New Years yet.
A hot date? The Fed-X guy or the water cooler guy?

Ha ha! Wouldn't that be something. I doubt I'll see CuteFedExGuy before New Years, but I wouldn't mind spending the evening withhim. If nothing else, just for the eye candy.
I'd rather hit myself in the head repeatedly with a hammer than go on a "hot date" with water cooler guy.
I don't really know what I'll be doing to ring in the new year. I'm sure I'll come up with something.
