Mmmm, Christmas.
Two days ago, boss was awesome and told us to go home for Christmas at around noon, even though we were supposed to work yesterday too. Yay, extra long weekend!
Yesterday, wrapped all my presents, made some cookies, finished and posted my newest Christmas NYRA Tale, went to my mom’s Greek friend’s big ass party again, and was half an hour late for the late night Christmas Eve church service. Not sure if that’s a win or a fail. Stupid family made me late and I missed O Come All Ye Faithful. I only even go for the music, dang it! :doitnow:
And during Silent Night, waving my candle around like a lighter at a concert, while wearing my Santa hat during the service.
And this morning got to family at around 10am and shortly after started opening presents.
Then at 11am I had to leave for a bit… to go to work. -_-
Just for a minute. It may be Christmas Day, but it’s also still Friday, and the freezer’s temperature chart still needs to be changed. I got there, repeatedly said “Fuck you!” to it while changing it out, writing the time, date, and initials on it, a nice “11:17am, 12-25-09” that I’ll totally show my coworkers on Monday and totally get yelled at for. Dedication.
Then back to the house to continue opening presents. And getting what looked like a bottle of booze that was actually olive oil. 🙂
Then food.
Then more food.
Plus watching my little brother make his trains collide, in a god-like lust for transportation disaster. Incidentally, it seems the Pennsylvania Flyer kicks the Polar Express’s ass.
Now I’m sitting here next to him as he’s watching various train videos on YouTube.
Plus we’ve been having a Christmas Day Chat among NYRAnians which has been quite nice.
In this, our pseudo-White Christmas. Where the leftover snow from last weekend is getting killed fast from rain and rising temperatures. Christmas is supposed to bring snow, not kill it! :doitnow:
I love this day. 😀
