Merry Christmas all!
And a most unusual one was had by me today.
My Mom and Aunt decided that "the roads are too dangerous today, let's put this off until tomorrow?" And my brother agreed to put off the
get-together (we were going to have Christmas Day dinner over at his place with Turkey - and still will, just a day late.)
That thoroughly non-plussed both me and my dad, because we were both out and about on Christmas morning, each doing our own thing, and while it DID dump a
small amount of snow in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, it all melted off the roads by noon.
(shrug) Okay. No worries. Whatever you want, mom.
So since I was already out, I headed over to Dads and we exchanged just his and my gifts (I got him a signed copy of "Failure is Not an Option" by
Gene Kranz) and he gave me the usual Christmas care package and extra funds to go get whatever extra I might want (he had already gotten me the new computer
earlier this year and both agreed that was my Christmas gift early)) - -
And then we sat down and watched Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles.
I guess it'll feel a little more traditional tomorrow when I'm visiting the rest of the family. ^_^
