I think this is probably the first Christmas that I just didn't feel like eating any of the scrumptious goodies that my sister and mother generally prepare for the holidays. I just for some reason had 0 appetite. It was probably whatever virus I'm still recovering from. I guess it's for the best, as it's never particularly healthy goodies, but damn it's good stuff
I've always loved getting together with that particular little subset of my family - my mother, sister, and their respective husbands. I think of family just like I think of friends: If we don't get along, there's not much use in having them around. But make sure you take good care of the ones you like, and they'll take good care of you.
We stayed true to tradition this Christmas and on Christmas Eve we took a trip downtown to walk around oldtowne and check out the luminaria, have a tamale and hot chocolate from the street vendors and just watch the people milling around. It was a frigid 50 degrees or so outside this xmas eve. Actually, I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more without the shivers and additional layers of clothing.
Anyway, I got some good books and was just taking a break to let my eyes rest slightly (I work with computers so much that this is practically letting my eyes rest) but I'm eager to get back to it. I hope everyone had a splendid holiday and has a wild and crazy new year.
