I only waited 364 days for this glorious day to happen again…no big deal. It’s only my favorite holiday… I only listened to Christmas music for a month and a half…It’s only the birth of the coolest man in our history…I may have been stripped of my tree decorating bliss…but at least I got to enjoy the eve and the DAY with my family…
WRONGO! Nothing like Christmas and the craps. It was either a mad case of food poisoning from Subway or a crazy stomach bug (side note: my sub completely tasted like plastic – I should have known! But I was starving so I ate it anyway…I was even looking a the life size poster of Jared and gleeful that he had made it 10 years and still kept it off….sorry, Jared…eat subway…you’ll have the craps for 3 days straight and easily keep it off! Grrrr.)
Nothing like traveling to your sisters house 2.5 hours in the snow with your stomach churning like mad. Nothing like sleeping all morning and afternoon with the occasional wake-up and run to the bathroom…while your ENTIRE family is out sledding and enjoy a “magical” day (says my sister)…indulging in afternoon bloodies and winter sangria and having craft hour making ornaments!!!! Then, to have the most fabulous appetizers and meal made and barely be able to enjoy. Nothing like packing an entire suitcase of running clothes (p.s. we finally got a break in the freezing cold and I couldn’t wait to get out and run the above 30 degree temps!!!) and Christmas outfit options with coordinating fabulous jewelry and then, having to live in your scrubs for 2 days!!!
CRIMANY!
In retrospect, though, I’m thankful that it was the craps and not the pukes. I’m thankful that I got to see my most adorable nephews, whom I’m absolutely adore, get to open presents. I’m thankful that I got to feel my newest nephew’s kick inside my sister-in-laws belly. I’m thankful that I get to spend Christmas with my family because not everybody does. So looking back it blows, literally, but I’ve come to realize that I still had it so good.
