Merry Merry Christmas!
I’ve got that song in my head, the one from south park… “hey there mister shintoist, merry fucking christmas”.
Oh well.
Christmas was good. For not getting too into it too soon, and for not getting too caught up in the material aspect of it, it was fun.
We stayed up last night until 4:30am drinking and watching tv and surfing and wrapping presents and stuff. Then we slept ’til noon, went to see family and had dinner around 4pm.
So by 10:00pm we were hungry again having had our only hot meal six hours before… so we were like “lets go to Denny’s!” but they didn’t answer the phone. So M goes “… and I’m sure you won’t want to go to waffle house…”, and I was like YEAH!!!!!! So M calls and not only are they open but they sound like they are havin’ a party – “sure we’re open, come on down and join the party!” So we grabbed our sweaters and headed out. It was fun! It was PACKED! It was alot of fun, sat at the counter and made some new friends. 
Talked to our counter-buddies and joked and gave them my business card. The staff was lively and jovial. We really had a good time and we think we’ll make it a new tradition! Sounds crazy, I know, but you gotta have fun! It was that or break into the pumpkin bread and sit in front of the tv watching Tivo’d shows.
