2006-12-19 - We’ve got our Festivus pole

So it just so happens that we came across a metal pole the other day. Perfect for a Festivus pole for our party.

Seeing as I think I’m the head of the household, I don’t think I want to do the feats of strength. I’d rather not have to wrestle people until I lose. No thanks. But the airing of grievances? Probably. The drinking? Check.

Happy Festivus!


2006-12-18 - Happy Hanukkah

Day one: Awesome painted faux-digeridoo
Day two: Awesome slippers with grips on the bottoms. I’m psyched about that. From Amber. Suitcases from my parents, LOADS of stuff on our registry from my Massachusetts relatives, LOADS of stuff off the registry from my brother and his wife, a Lightcast from my brother and his wife, a graphic novel from my cousin, another from a friend, a Samoa Joe DVD from Jared, man, the list keeps going and going at the moment… My parents got us a model VW Bus. Now all we have to do is get our real one back from the shop.
Day three: Henry Rollins: High Adventures in the Great Outdoors from Amber. Woo hoo! Leather jacket from my parents. Neato.

I liek Hannukah for the family aspect. I love the rush that we have when giving out our gifts. In Amber’s family there was a set structure to how people are given gifts. They were numbered and people had to go find them and blah blah blah. In my family, it’s really about the giving part and now so much about the watching everyone open every gift. There’s 30 or so of us total and I’d say there are a minimum of 10 entities that give gifts (couples, families, cousins, yadda yadda) every year. Who has time? Not us, it’s a blur of wrapping paper, gifts and yelling.

That’s how we like it.

  • Next confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated agains
