The family and all the kids have officially convened. All day today I've been sitting in Nuke's living room watching bemusedly as pre-Christmas chaos unfolded around me what with seven adults, five kids, two dogs, one or two blaring TVs and Nuke's ipod in its dock, also blaring. Its a little bit like sitting in the eye of the hurricane. *chuckle* Once again, I've been proven wrong - I often bitch and moan and cry and whine about having to go to family holidays, but I always am glad when I get there.
Currently we've bundled the kids downstairs to watch Elf, and the grownups and I (cause it don't matter how old I am, I never can quite call myself one of the grown ups, lol) are upstairs watching It's A Wonderful Life. It's been a day, what with the chaos and also running out to go shopping earlier, since Nuke lives around the corner from quite possibly one of the scariest examples of strip mall hell I've ever seen. Convenient today though - I have officially gotten all of my Christmas shopping done, lol. And, having had to take Vicki and Ruthy out shopping with me, I now am satisfied that after 25 years of being stuck in cars with them and being subjected to radio tyranny, revenge is a sweet sweet thing. Can't wait to have to shuttle Nuke somewhere. I've got some screamcore I'm saving up just for that occasion.
I've got presents left to wrap tonight, and of course, still slaving on the deer. Not sure what's under the tree for me since I didn't really ask for anything, but I look forward to watching how Dad and D.J. like their presents. And tomorrow, lots of people to call.
Hoping y'all have a good Christmas. <3
