Good morning, readers!

It's December now. I haven't posted anything in a bit, so...

I'm almost finished with my Christmas shopping already, which is kind of nice.

The holidays haven't really come out swinging in my house just yet. I guess we're still trying to recover from the Thanksgiving seige.

I remember when our house was a lot more packed for Thanksgiving. For whatever reason, we've been hosting it for as long as I can remember. We'd have at least 20 cousins around (the bigger parties were at our old house several years ago.), and almost all the uncles and aunts and grandparents.

It's a little quieter now, since our lives have gotten a lot busier since we were kids. They're still good times, though, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

We're going to my Uncle Joe's at Christmas, probably. I really like his house. He's got a nice sound system that's always had Christmas songs on it, not to mention the shelf that stretches around the entire top of the room displaying his collection of rare and strange beer cans.

It's a cool collection. I wish you could see it.

We'd play pool and chat and just enjoy each other's company. I'm really looking forward to it.

We've got a Christmas party coming up this next Sunday at work. This should be...interesting. It's supposed to be an 80's dance party.

What that has to do with Christmas is beyond me, but whatever floats your boat. They'll have other people there, which is nice. Most of the people I work with are guys, and it just doesn't work when two straight guys dance with each other. If you're gay, that's probably a different story. I wouldn't know.

Anyway. I'm not sure if I'm going to go just yet. But we'll see.

I've got an interview in New York coming up next week that I'm looking forward to. It's about a 5-hour drive, but I like road trips so this should be fun.

Gotta go get something productive going today. I'll catch y'all on the flipside. Whatever that means.
