christmas eve

so, i've sent my parents off to their 2nd church service of the evening.
i am working on a cocktail (shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
they will be back around 8pm, and then we'll head to my aunt's house.
really, it hasn't been bad- i get a little tired of the religious rigamorole, but i can handle it this long. i get aggravated at their mopeiness, but i try to remember that we all get older.
my sister tells me that i should be ashamed i didn't put up christmas decorations- that "we're celebrating jesus's birthday- the least we can do is put up a christmas tree."
tomorrow will be hectic i am sure.

i wish every one a wonderful holiday season spent in the warmth of friends and family.
