Okay that's original. lol. There's probably only a billion blogs with that title or some variation today. I'm officially taking an FTO(flex time off) day today from work. Woohoo...I slept in til 8:30am and I'm going to go for over 6 miles at lunch today. The weather has finally turned around and it's even supposed to be in the 40s tomorrow, the big day.
I have to be over at the house at 7:30am to watch Elena open gifts. Elena will be running around crazy by then as she will easily have been up since 6am. We'll open gifts and eat some breakfast. It will be a good time. She tell me about how Santa ate some cookies and drank the milk. I think she was 4 when she first put out cookies that she made for Santa. I still remember her basically screaming at me when I showed up that Santa ate her cookies. It was a classic moment in her Xmas experience. She's still excited each year but soon enough she'll stop doing it and stop caring about Santa. Well one less gift for her, hah!
Usually during the holiday season, I'm the master bah-humbugger but not this year. It's pretty easy just ignore the holiday season when you stay in your condo 24/7. This is positive for me and positive for Elena since it was always tough for me to match her Xmas excitement every year. I'm not much for Xmas even though as a kid we had great Xmas's for being as poor as we were. We always had a tree with decorations and I got gifts from Santa and Mom. I usually got some cool stuff. I don't know why I don't like Xmas but I don't. Maybe I'm just weird.
Welp I'm off to start my epic 5 days of sitting on the couch watching movies. I'll interrupt that every so often for a workout but that's it.
Merry Xmas!

What? Al taking time off from work? Has his body been taken over by an alien? Lies, all filthy lies.
ReplyDeleteHey, I am with you on the bah-humbuggery, dude. Keep it rolling, we shall defeat the forces of good through sheer mendacity. Woo-Hoo!
Merry Christmas, have a safe and happy one.
