Christmas Eve is tomorrow and I must say I’m feeling the holiday spirit. I have to confess, holidays are an interesting time for me, to say the least. There are the ups. Spending time with the family, a month off from school, and we get tons of cheese from Wisconsin in the mail. And the downs. Spending time with family, more desserts than you can shake a stick at (see my first blog), and well…nuts. But anyways, That’s a long and depressing story.
For those of you who don’t know my sense of humor, take every thing I say with a grain of salt. For those who do, enjoy this (slightly twisted) little look at my Christmas’ past.
Also, many great memories from my childhood. For instance a year that will forever live in infamy in my house. The Christmas of 93’, when Dad forgot to turn off our video camera after my brother and I had finished unwrapping our gifts. He had conveniently left it facing our tree, and Mom came along to pick up all the discarded wrapping paper and blocked out all the Christmas cheer with her butt. Forty-five minutes of it on VHS.
Or what about the year my Grandma spent the days before Christmas baking us untold amounts of chocolate candies and various kinds of sugared nuts. She put them all in labeled containers, so it would be convenient for us, and my cousin stumbled upon one that had the word “P e c a s s e s” scrawled across it. Trust me guys, your guess is as good as mine.
My all time favorite might just be the year my mom was sick and heavily medicated. I mean wow, really medicated. She passed out in one of the chairs in the family room, and another one of my cousins found a bottle of rum (for baking people) and tucked it underneath Mom’s arm. I then attempted to take a series of incriminating pictures, before she regained consciousness. Later that evening, mom tried to convince me that she was not too doped up on cold medicine to drive us home. She then attempted to put her coat on, proceeded to get tangled in it, and I took the keys.
I just wanted to share a little of my cheer with anyone who happens across this blog. This will probably be that last time I post anything until after Christmas. Since all of our festivities will be held tomorrow. So, Happy Holidays to you, my friends :)
