Everytime a Bell Rings...

As I begin writing this, it is 11:15 PM cdt on December 24, 2007, and I am unapologetically watching Flick stick his tongue to the flagpole. Look, people, he was triple-dog-dared. What do you want from the kid!!?!??!

I just finished watching “It’s a Wonderful Life.” And I loved every second of it. Deal with it. Presents in my family have been largely exchanged. So, now, it’s time to enjoy a bit of post-solstice relaxation. We had a bit of sushi at the Kabuki tonight, and fully intend on having takeout from East China tomorrow. Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra, Rah-ra-ra-rah!!!! I love Christmas!!!

Speaking of stereotypical, clichéd Christmas events . . . we were a bit lax on getting to the grocery on time tonight to get some breakfast sausage. But wife had a great idea: “Walgreen’s is open 24hours!!!” Oh, and they were! Camouflage stockings. Elvis ornaments from various stages of his career. Ipod alarm clocks (iPod not included, duh). A multi-phrase Homer Simpson ornament. And a PACKED parking lot!!! Including some dude who was trying to give away mixed breed puppies in the parking lot. No, I’m not kidding.

Parties went well this weekend. Who knew so many tacky Christmas sweaters existed??? Oh, but they do!!!
