I know how much you dislike the taste of vanilla. :)<br /><br />It seems to have been an exceptionally stressful time for many this Christmas. Low-key and uneventful, or eventful for the wrong reasons in some cases. Still I have no complaints, and with the exception of Sandy being sick it&#39;s been an enjoyable time together.<br /><br />And yeah, what&#39;s with families huh? This year beginning in the summer I got the standard guilt-trip from my mom about how nobody calls her (which is bullshit), how we&#39;re not that close a family anymore (we&#39;re actually growing closer with my brother&#39;s recent engagement), and how since all her kids have their own lives and Christmas doesn&#39;t mean anything to us she&#39;s going to Florida with her husband for the winter. <br /><br />Which they did. Despite Sandy and I, back in the summer, telling her we&#39;re inviting them both to our home for Christmas. Nope, might as well not even have mentioned it. I believe this happened last year as well. <br /><br />So if you see a sixty-nine year old woman in South Beach wearing stretchy pants and complaining about her family, number one that&#39;s my mom and number two she&#39;s lost &#39;cause her ass is supposed to be in Orlando. <br /><br />Ah, family love eh? :)<br /><br /><br />So Plan B. Since we all love you and you love us, if we can&#39;t plan to all be together next Christmas (which would be f$@!&amp;%* awesome), here&#39;s what I propose. We all put our names in for a Secret Santa draw and spread some of that love around to each other. It wouldn&#39;t have to be so secret, actually better if names were included.<br /><br />I&#39;d be happy to co-ordinate, or it could be a joint venture. Whaddya think?Barryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04641761671561288846noreply@blogger.com
