Did Santa find your house? He came here and left a big pile of Christmas presents under my tree! Wow – can’t wait to have a nice breakfast and then commence to tearing open all those presents!
One of my buddies from college is finally getting married. For some reason, his fiance wants to get married on Christmas Eve. I think that is a strange day to expect everyone to attend a wedding. In my family we all have so much to do on Christmas Eve that we would just decline the wedding invitation or fuss at the bridge and demand she change the date.
But we are not related and its not my problem. I can go to the wedding because I had enough notice to be able to plan ahead for it.
Our friend, Wesley, wants to throw a bachelor party for him next Friday night. Again, with Christmas right around the corner, getting people together for a bachelor party has been tough. a lot of people have company Christmas parties they have to attend, or shopping they need to finish. But we are determined to send Brad off to his wedded bliss in style.
Its nice to have a day off from work. Thankfully, I am getting paid for the day, which I get to spend watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and then football.
Then I will feast on a turkey breast, with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a green bean casserole topped with french fried onions.
My dessert choice is pecan pie. I am going to pass on the pumpkin pie this time and push that back to Christmas dinner, instead.
Sometimes I think this is my favorite holiday of the year. It’s a weird holiday though – no one gets to take the day off from work. Not even comedians.
Hope that 2011 is good to us all. It will surely be better than 2010 – glad to see that year pack its bags and go down the long lonely road.
Happy New Year to all!
