ah...holidays... (shoot me now)

Why is it that I never feel like I have the energy for holidays with my family? It's going to be crowded, at least a dozen people, maybe more, and I know that means less of Grandma's attention will be on me, which is good, but- ugh, I'm so tired. And all I want to do is stay home, hang out with Mom, read, and enjoy my presents.

Had a lovely morning; got up, Mom made chocholate raspberry coffee (lovely stuff), and we opened presents. I got her movies she'd asked for; she got me seasons 1 & 2 of Alias. (Also the Return of the King game for Playstation 2, which she let me open on Solstice. Mom rocks.)

And now I get to head out and hang with the relations. Yay. We bought them a new Trival Persuit game, so hopefully we'll avoid the charades trap, and we've got some other ideas for stuff to do this week besides hang out at the house and play games.

But hey. It's Christmas, I've got my Grinch socks, and life is good.

Oh yeah. Did I mention it's pouring?

Merry Christmas, guys, if you celebrate. (I don't, really. :)) I'll be thinking of you- when I'm not thinking of killing my relations.
