Merry Christmas!
We actually managed a white Christmas this year. In fact, it's snowing as I type.
An uneventful couple of days. Yesterday was spent watching Eddie Izzard and Dylan Moran on BBCAmerica and reading David Sedaris. It all worked really well for my mood. Then the whole family went to evening mass where instead of Joseph and Mary we had Joel and Terri. My parents, being the closest married couple to the front of the church, where asked to hold the plaster baby Jesus so we could all worship. If we wanted. Tom and I didn't go up. One, because I'm a little uncomfortable doing that sort of thing and two, because it was our
parents and that's even weirder and we couldn't stop laughing. Especially funny because Mom is the only non-Catholic, un-baptized one in the immediate family. Oh, church. Plus, when we got there everything was all locked up. The priest apparently didn't even have a key. Seriously. Only in Royal City.
Then we came back and I stayed up late watching
The Soup and
Drop Dead Gorgeous and finally writing something after not being at all in the mood for it for days. This morning we all got up, did the present thing, than I lazed about all day because it's Christmas and who needs to actually do things? Not me, that's who.
Had a family dinner, which was very good, and pie, which got stuck in my teeth.
( Watched Torchwood with Mom. )The plan is to head back to Seattle on Friday. Winter quarter starts January 3. It's going to be interesting.
