So I got skipped at my extended family's annual gift swap.  While my cousin Andy got two gifts (a lovely flannel shirt-- the family Christmas standard issue--  from my uncle Ronnie and Chuck Klosterman's new book with "American Jesus" and "The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil" from me), I received nothing.  No oversize sweater-vest featuring

The weird thing is, I am more excited about Christmas this year than I have been in a while. I suspect I will get remarkably useless gifts, and I feel stressed at having to feign appreciation and the inconveniece the clutter. However, I just spend so little time with my family as a whole, and it's been a seriously long time since we've had a special meal together... I am just so excited we will all be under the same roof laughing together and sharing food and spending time. All the decorations look so nice, and there will be cheesy things on TV, and everyone will fart soo much, and it will just be soo good. I'm really beginnig to love having that excuse every year.

Haha, after this morning I feel a bit sheepish about this post. I just spent hours watching my two-year-old neice babble at my five-month-old neice. It was unspeakably cute. I guess I just wish we could hang out all the time without having to freak out over whether Billy bought the turkey or not.

I'm glad that you're having a good Christmas!

I noticed today that people blow ass on Christmas Eve.

Speaking of blowing ass, come over and eat some chili, sweet pea!
