Okaaayyyyy… We made it through yet another Christmas…

Contrary to Larry the Cable Guy, ‘most’ of the greetings I heard this year were Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays; maybe, just maybe, the PC police lost this one…

There is nothing like the pleasure of watching the Grandson tear into his presents, ripping the expensive paper and bow and trampling it underfoot. Ah, payback… 🙂

On a lighter note, Christmas dinner was excellent, even if the kids did cook it. Oldest daughter cooked her first turkey on her own, and it was actually good! Of course, I am now at the point that I don’t want to even SEE another %^&* turkey until next Thanksgiving…

Crass commercializm is yet again rearing it’s ugly head, with all the after Christmas sales, my only question is- Who can get up, much less move after eating the obligitory 3.2 lbs of turkey, plus trimmings, plus desert???

Oh yeah, and why is it the Christmas present I bought for $159 is now $89 on sale? Hmmm, now if I can guess the Grandson’s size, I can go shopping today and get good prices for Christmas next year.

Oh yeah, Discovery channel had a special on fruit cake yesterday, according to the manufacturer, their fruit cakes only last 6 months, not years…

Well, after a round of turkey sandwich, pie, etc. the tryptophan is kicking in again, so I think I’ll go take another nap…

  1. HA!

    I cooked my dad a pork loin. I didn’t want turkey and he doesn’t really eat red meat.

    We had a yummy tiramisu cake for dessert. I think I’ll have that for dinner!

    I slept all day instead of going shopping, too. Sleep is soooo underrated.

  2. Ohhh tiramisu! That is one of the greatest desserts ever! I spent all day refereeing between the daughters… sigh…

  3. MERRY CHRISTMAS ,Jim! Sorry about being late but was down hard with the flu from about 1300 12/24 till this AM. I think that bug they shot in me was at least still squirming around a little. Had all four kids and six GK’s here for the fist time in 18 years and missed it all!! Oh well there is always next year! I can use this years disaster as a lever to get them all here again Heh Heh Heh! Love Ya dude have a great year.

  4. We have family stuff going on, and one of my cousins called. He asked if she wanted to say hello to me and she said no.

    I think hello would have killed her, but she also didn’t speak to me at my grandmother’s funeral–this is all her, btw. I didn’t do anything to her.

    Long story. It did cast a bit of a cloud on an otherwise awesome day with my dad.

    Sorry you had to referee. While I really wish I had brothers or sisters, sometimes being an only child has perks. 🙂

  5. Ev- That also happened to a friend in Texas, he was hard down for three days, missed family, kids and grandkids the same way!

    RT- Holidays seem to bring out the best and the worst in families… what can we say?

    Wyatt- It was good, but I warn you now, when yours get older, stand by 🙂
