For whatever reason I felt the urge to post a post to this blog.
It's Christmas day, 2012 at 9:35 PM. Lisa and I are currently enjoying our second glass of Sambuca and watching Scrooge. The kids have retired to their rooms with their computers and potato chips, their XBoxes and their next door neighbor buddies.
Last night we attended the 5:30 mass at St. Bon's where the girl sang in the choir. Afterwards we dined with my folks and my older sister and her fam. When we got home Lisa wrapped the rest of the gifts and I complained about the hour and that I was tired and wanted to sleep. Instead I stayed up with her until nearly 2 AM cleaning up the house so as to wake up to a clean home on Christmas morning.
Up by 10, enjoyed family time with presents and then an actual family breakfast at the table. We went to the in-laws around 3 where we ate, drank and ate some more, coming home around 8:30. Slipped into something more comfortable, popped Scrooge in the VCR (yes, I know), poured some Sambuca and that brings us to now.
Hope your Christmases were happy and full of many blessings.
9:52 PM. I just realized why I felt like posting. I'm drunk. Mystery solved. Carry on. Merry Christmas.


Clearly you should get drunk more often.
Merry Christmas and lots of love to you, Joe.

Great to hear from you Joe. Merry Christmas to you and Lisa and the kids (belated now, but sincere). And a happy new year, too. I would tell you to never drink and post, but if that's what it takes to get you to update us these days, then more Sambuca! You didn't slur, which is impressive.
