Christmas

I hate to be this way because 'tis not what Christmas is about but: I AM SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THIS YEAR! I'm excited to give the ones I bought for people as well. That part always makes me happy.
I'm hoping that Christmas eve at my sister's house is going to be fun, but one of my most amazing relatives fractured (or something of the sort) her L2 in her back. I'm pretty bummed that she will not be attending, but I'm still excited to see everyone.
The other AMAZING thing about Christmas is that people fly home to visit! I get to see people that I don't see but a few times a year, or people I see ONCE a year. Pretty fantastic.
Also, the excessive egg-nog abuse is great as well. ;-) Bud's egg-nog is the best, just in case any of you were wondering. You can buy it in bulk and then freeze it and enjoy is mid-year. I found that out a few years ago, and man, is that a GREAT trick.
I'm also going to see Marley and Me, which I can't wait for. It looks as though they went astray from the book story quite a bit, but I saw some really funny scenes from the book that they play out in the movie (well, what I gathered from the commercials).
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Christmas rocks! Oh yeah, and I don't have to work, although the money would be great, I'm glad to have it off. I have been working non-stop sense LAST Monday. Actually, I'm on a job RIGHT now, I'm sleeping in the San Francisco at a families house while their father is out of town.
I can't wait until Christmas!!!
