O Come, O Come Cherry Limeades
Dec. 25th, 2005 11:46 amI'm here enjoying the holiday at Chris' house, with Chris' family, including his brother, Andy. it's a full house here with Joey the dog running around from person to person. We haven't gotten around to presents yet, but I have to be a little embarrassed having not gotten Chris' parents a gift, while they have one for me.
Last night we climbed into Chris' parents rental car and went out to get booze (for cooking) an d to go get some food, but we got started too late, barely getting into the liquor store before it closed (all liquor stores have to close at 9 in Texas, and are closed on Sunday, Christmas or no) and then went out for food.
Our initial destination was BW3, but they were dark. We went up and down Belt Line Road seeing every place closed. Chili's had a lot of cars in the parking lot, but once we got there, they said they closed at 9:00. The Whataburgers in the area were also just as dark.
We finally found the Sonic on Frankford was open. It was the glowing oasis in a sea of darkened hopes and dreams for the hungry family. So it was burgers and hotdogs for the hungry crew. We took it home because it was already a long time for Chris, Andy and their mother to all be crammed into the back of a rented Taurus.
We ate our found bounty while watching that holiday chestnut, the 40 Year-Old Virgin. Strangely the virgin doesn't get pregnant in this story.
We checked in with NORAD later in the evening, finding that Santa had already passed us by. I guess we should have gone to bed earlier. Still, there's still presents under the tree that need our attention.
I need to call my parents and my sister. We're all scattered this year, with Mom and Dad at home, Laura and Ed in Connecticut, and I in Dallas.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, Happy Holidays to all the others!
