Well, so there you have it. Christmas v. 2004 is officially over.
Officially? Cory asked me last night as we drove through the fog away from his mother's house.
Yes, officially. Because even though there are still some presents to be wrapped and unwrapped, all of the family Christmases (Parts 1-3) are now gone and with them went the stress.
I love my family. I do...but...well, perhaps you know how it is.
(Note to self: by Dec. 24 of next year you must own a small flask in which one may smuggle rum or whiskey to liven up the endless cans of Diet Coke consumed on Christmas Eve. It's a much better option than rushing to the grocery store to buy a four-pack of "emergency" Kahlua mudslides. OK, so the emergency grocery store trip was really about green beans. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it).
And do I have the best husband ever? Thanks for asking, why yes I do. Big smoochy thanks to Cory for my birthday surprise: two tickets to the Kings-Miami game that were handed out over my birthday sushi dinner. What a perfect way to spend the evening - with the spouse, away from all the holiday hoopla, screaming my lungs out (I was nearly hoarse by the end of the first quarter). In the end it didn't even matter that they choked in the last quarter and lost by two points.
Of course, what's really funny about this is that my surprise Christmas gift to Cory was two tickets to the Kings-Cavaliers game scheduled for next month. Do we know each other or what? We do.
Oh, and I know I'm going to hell for my "he's a little rascal driving his Little Rascal" comment last night. I'm sorry, but that's what I think whenever I see the Pope scooting around on his motorized wheelchair.
What may have been the highlight of this whole holiday rush so far: playing Legos last night with our three-year-old nephew Zachary -- building up dinosaurs and smashing them to smithereens. Bliss.
Coming up in the near future: highlighted Christmas v.2004 Talking Points from my brother. Holiday joy is being the polar opposite of your younger brother in every which way possible!
Happy everything to all of you....
