I have never been this late in preparing for Christmas. We finally got the tree up and trimmed on Sunday. I did get to wrap all of the gifts and I'm glad I'm done with that aspect. I haven't baked one cookie. People expect me to make cookies and candy because that's what I do. If I come without them I know someone will tell me to go home. I haven't made one chocolate heart mold. 13 people (maybe I should invite one more person so it's an even number, luckily I'm not superstitious.) will be coming for Christmas Eve and I haven't made a menu. We have a party Thursday night and dinner at the girls 2nd grade teacher's house (she had both girls in her class). Did I mention that the girls have school through Friday? How am I going to get all of this stuff done?
Ok, I'm giving myself anxiety........ Decompressing.........
My parents have been divorced since I was nine and ever since it has been a tradition to spend Christmas Eve with my dad. Since I have been an adult, my sister and I have rotated years. The funny part is that my mom started inviting herself about 9 years ago. So, my dad, mom, step dad, my mom's parents, my sister and her husband, and my family all spend the day together. They all get along now since it's been 28 years. No one drinks so things stay pretty tame. I have been contemplating being a closet drinker this year. I think I'll start right now!

Oh I feel your pain girl! Believe me, in order for my family to get together, a lot of alcohol is involved. Bring the liquor out of the closet and have some fun...or you can just come here to my family's nutty house and party it up with us.
SO dreading this Christmas. Isn't that sad?
{{hugs}}
They all get along huh...well, thats something isn't it???
Pantylines~Can it be a really dark closet where we can only drink and feel each other up?
Deb~Your family sounds fun. I'd love to come and visit.
Wendy~Yes, I have a family of freaks.
City~I am like that. It's easier to do things yourself because you know they are done right. I have made a list and I'm checkin' it twice.
*slips into the closet with a bottle of Chrissie's hot-pepper vodka*
hehehe
Oh, oh *said in my best Horshack voice*
Can I get some of that and some of Chrissie's vodka too?
3's company, oh, make that 4, I think Pantylines is in here too. I love the holidays!
Me four!
Wait. Me, too.
Fuck.
Whatever. :)
damn there's a lot of us in this closet!
*groping chrissie and signgurl*
*hoping it was those two, or two chicks in general, that I groped*
LOL
Damn, I knew I should have built you that bigger closet! I am not sure if everyone is in there hiding out from Christmas or just looking for a good time. I sure could use a pick me up right about now so if there is any more room...
Jenn, I'm only getting in there if we have red wine. Don't tell Alex. LOL.
I think I may stay home for Christmas.... make little Christmas treats for my dogs.... drink.... watch the fish.... play Christmas songs REALLY loud....
Laurie~My closet is big. ;-)
Tami~You know there's room for you. I got you Budweiser right here, hehehe!
Dzer~Yep, you got the right chicks ;-)
Barman~Well, come on in! You can work on that closet extension for me after the holidays.
Suze~You bring the wine and Alex. He could be useful.
Sheets~That sounds a little lonely to me. There's still room in the closet. Can you bring some tequila?
Oh Jenn, I feel your pain... I still have loads. um loads.
