A binder for recipe ideas and comments? Get out of the city. Or get out of the Baptist Convention. Either/Or : )

27 different kinds of cookies? Seriously? Hopefully at least a dozen of those were alcohol-based.

As for my take on the Christmas cards with no note, no letter, no picture? NO! POINT!

AMEN and AMEN!!! My husband is about the Santa thing and it makes me mad he gets the credit for all my hard work and $. My son kept coming to me and saying thank you for the drum set (this was his “santa” present) and every time he would say that…my daughter would “correct” him and say “that’s from Santa not mom and dad” and after about the 50th time that day I looked at my husband and said…that is really ticking me off. Some dead old fat guy is getting the credit for what we did. He was like now mom…don’t ruin it for her just yet. ARRRGGGHHH!!! I let it slide THIS year…can’t promise what will happen next year!

This year we stayed home, since we just moved. IT WAS DELIGHTFUL. We’re leaving this Wednesday to visit All the Family (must pack away some of my mommy juice boxes). It was nice not to feel guilty about who got Christmas morning or Christmas Eve, and who needed what and blabbity blah blah. And of the 3 nights, who gets two??? We did what we wanted. Had spaghetti for Christmas dinner. When we were ready to eat. No stress. No freaking out. The girls stayed in jammies for days. DELIGHTFUL.

Every year I am asked for my Christmas wishlist. And ever year, it isn’t good enough, because there’s nothing on it she had in mind to buy me.

So why, you may ask, would I be asked for the wishlist in the first place?

Good question.

And also every year, everyone wants to see everyone all on one day. We have 4 sets of parents between us. It’s like a bad movie with strikingly beautiful central characters.

So, we’ve decided that next year, our wishlists will ask for donations to a charity in our name, and we’re going skiing. Just the six of us.

And we’re not telling them until Christmas Day where we are.

That’ll be the Merriest Christmas since 0 A. D.

I love it!!! You should try Malibu Rum and cranberry juice, the rum takes the tart of the cranberry. And for the record, I still say merry.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Let’s talk about the biggest useless tradition of all: the annual Christmas fight. Right now, two of my brothers are *mad me and my sister and we are all pretty pissed at my parents.

I am so glad that I live 500 miles from all the loonies and that a) it is too snowy, b) we are needed here with my husband’s widowed ~~problem~~ mother, and/or c)I just can’t make myself want to be that involved in their mess to make the drive down.

My family’s carol would be “I Saw Mommy Choking Uncle Mike”.

Happy New Year.

*Maybe that is a bit too mellow of a description. The words “she is dead to me” may have been used.
A bit of a flair for the dramatic don’t you think?

Raspberry vodka? Will have to give that a swing. My MIL is here and causing much pain. Can I get the vodka in IV form?
