Haha! We suck :)
So, my family had the most lackluster Christmas ever. We didn't even try this year. We were so
NOT feeling the holidays.
Vaughiddt. We were just so damn exhausted from everything else going on in our lives that we just didn't had the bandwidth to put all of that together this year. Between travel, jobs, babies, house-buying, and general malaise, we just decided we weren't doing anything. Much like we did Thanksgiving. We went over Cranny's for Thanksgiving. Let someone else do the cooking for a change.
We started with the crappiest little 2-foot tall Charlie Brown Christmas tree ever. Mom bought this tree on clearance from the K-Mart two days before Christmas. A leetle crooked aluminum tree in a bucket. :S I could just see her walking through the store now. All mad and shit. All the other customers feeling sorry for her. Haha!
Oh, honey, is that all the Christmas tree you're going to put up? Hah!
I tell you what, though. Mom was bound and determined to make something out of that crap-ass tree. She bought some purple and silver miniature balls and some ribbon and shit. She decorated the shit out of that sad little pathetic tree.
So like most of my family's holidays, they revolve around food. We went food shopping (just for ourselves of course) and bought a bunch of shit. Why do we always do that? Make
WAY more food than any of us could possibly eat. Even if it is only two of us. So we decided on ham for Christmas. Of course we realized that we forgot to buy brown sugar for the glaze. D'oh! So of course, I procrastinated and tried to go out Christmas Day to get it. "They'll be open in the morning! I can go then." Of course I go out at 1 o'clock. You know, just as ALL the grocery stores were closed or closing. The only thing that was open was the damn Eckerd and they didn't have no brown sugar. Tat's for damn sure. Oh well. The wages of sin is death.
Back to food and laziness. We were going to have waffles and sausage for breakfast. I decided to heat up a Hot Pocket at 10 o'clock because I knew what the deal was. We weren't eating shit until somebody felt like getting up and making the shit. Needless to say, breakfast was at 2. Well if breakfast was at 2, when the hell was lunch? Oh, about 6.
So around 6, out came the spread. Shyeesh. Meats & cheeses, crackers, deviled eggs, cookies. Good god. We filled up on that crap by the time the ham even came out, which was like 7:30. I, of course, made my famous 10-pound macaroni & cheese. After all that food, who could eat dinner? I couldn't even tell you the horrifying indigestion stories. Couple that with the 5 pounds of chocolate candies we devoured that day.
Much to my GREAT surprise I made out pretty good this year. My Mom got me an XBOX 360 and my Dad got me an upconverter DVD Player. Woot. I felt kinda bad because we had early on made the decision that no one was going to make a big deal out of Christmas this year. I got everyone DVDs. Kind of pales in comparison with what I got, huh? Who knew? I certainly didn't expect
ANYBODY to spend that kind of money on me. I had actually planned to save up myself for the XBOX and the DVD Player came out of nowhere. I seriously expected to get some DVDs myself. Total surprise. Woot.
What's funny is that I got an XBOX 360, but I didn't have any games! Haha. Nerts. All I had were the 3 Burger King games. They were kind of my own personal convincer to get myself an XBOX 360. I tell you what, though. I played those games and they're actually funner than a muther fucker. :) Woot.
Do? We didn't do JACK SHIT for Christmas. We layed around like sloths and vegetated all day. Best Christmas ever!
