Merry Christmas, everyone. Understandably, I haven't been around to say these things in-person, and I probably won't be around much (or possibly at all) Christmas Day, either. It was our family's turn host the annual Christmas party, so we've had our big family in the house all night.
Everyone enjoyed the white elephant game that we hosted this year; no one else has done it before, and I think everyone will want to continue it for future Christmas parties. Everyone was laughing really hard once people started stealing stuff. We then did the annual Secret Santa reveals, and then family gifts. When you've got a family of 30+ attending, it gets pretty hectic, so it took us about five hours to get through everything (including dinner).
It'll only get more hectic next year, with my cousins expecting twins in January. Whew. Crazy to think about.
( Cut for gifts )
Thank you to everyone who has sent out Christmas and holiday greetings, thank you
nata_de_coco for whatever it is you needed my address for :P, and thank you
fuckyeahfish for the very thoughtful Christmas message. I'm happy and blessed to know all of you.
