christmas eve is spent at a group home and my empty one. i learned that it's not as fun to watch people with flat affects open gifts. a straight face and a quiet thanks is all you can expect. christmas will be spent reminding people to put on clean clothes and figuring out how to prepare a decent roast beef. i'm not sure that my vegetarian ass can handle it.
of course i really shouldn't complain. christmas is not such a huge deal to an agnostic. i've already exchanged gifts with nicki and frank. tomorrow i will go to my uncle joe's house after work. my other side of the family celebrates christmas only after the new year is over.
and now i'll call in christmas by doing the dishes. good night.
