For me, today is gonna be busy. I've gotta make a quick run over to Jenny's this afternoon in order for us to exchange gifts, and then I've gotta get back here in time for dinner. On Christmas Eve we usually eat right at six pm, and then we have this little family-type traditional thing that we do. We all go into our living room right after dinner, fire up the fireplace, and then sip on coffee or eggnog together. That's pretty nice, ain't it? There's also the slight chance that if we beg, plead, or just plain get on Mama's nerves enough that she might let us open one Christmas gift. Underline the word "might." We'll be really lucky if that happens, though, because Ed Jr. and my mom believe in opening gifts on Christmas morning only. Mama says we do that to be sure we celebrate Jesus' birthday when we're supposed to. Ed Jr. says that we open them then so that he doesn't have to listen to any pissing and moaning about us not having any gifts left to open. He adds that if anyone has a right to a peaceful Christmas, it's him, as he has to cut down and put up the tree, deal with Mama's relatives, and pay the tab for our entire Christmas. Not to mention the fact that he's a Korean veteran. You've got to admit his logic is not bad, and at least it's pretty original.
