Christmas!

I love this holiday. I love getting together with my entire family (the 9 of us) and listening to the old Jackson 5 Christmas reel to reel and watching old family videos and eating tamales and bbq and opening a gazillion presents and the Cowboys game and playing poker and drinking margaritas until we’re laughing so hard we’re crying.

This year my love joined us (him + sister’s ex inlaws = 12 this year) and had himself an old fashioned Mexican Christmas. He brought the Christmas Pudding (totally fruit cake) and gargantuan poinsettia and massive gift basket for Mom and gifts for the girls and we showed him just how many tamales it was safe to eat in one sitting. He’s awesome. My family just loves him to pieces. Even my ex brother in law’s parents (who spend xmas with us, irregardless of their son no longer being family) love him. And who wouldn’t? He’s done everything in his power to make the suck part of the last couple of weeks almost non-existent. (I’ll get to posting about the suck part soon enough.)

As for my love, I got him an hour 4 hand massage and full body dry brush. Yep. 2 therapists for one hour of drooling bliss. That, and some English food stuffs and cds. He, via Santa, got me a bad ass iPod (one of the Red ones that give a portion of profits to AIDS research) engraved with “Blame it on the Bossa Nova…” (cause he rocks), the new Tori Amos Box Set (which I burned to said iPod today), the X-men trilogy, amazing japanese incense, full home spa kit, bath salts and a Suduko pen. Spoils me, he does.

And Santa, via my family, finally got me a sewing machine. I say finally, because I’ve been asking for one for years and my mom has always said no and spouted off some old spinster superstition. This year they all went in and got an awesome one. Tomorrow I’m meeting my sisters for a sewing session. We’re making curtains and I’m going to try not to sew my finger into it. The parents also got me the Tori Amos box set. And my sister and I got one for my niece. Lots of Tori box sets under the tree this year. Make up and candles and panties and socks and clothes and lip gloss. Do they know me or what?

I’m back in Austin now. We watched X-Men and got Chinese takeout and snuggled up on the couch. He’s been at my house for 2 days and we’re not allowed PDA in the parent’s house (yeah, yeah, I’m 30 and could technically do what I want, but it’s about respect for my Father, yo!) soooooo it feels like weeks since we’ve been able to get all snuggified. I’m enjoying it.

Actually, I’m going to go enjoy more of it now.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I’ll be thinking about you come new year. (And don’t forget – 007 party for the new years!)

          I would have liked this deal much better if Susac and Jake Stewart were signed last summer.After this deal, the Phillies need to do a better job of drafting more players like Colvin, Susac, and Stewart…and going forward they need to make sure they sign ALL of them even if at overslot deals. It is the only chance they have at restocking the farm system in a reasonable amount of time.
