Sitting here at 1:30 in the afternoon on Christmas day, it is quiet for just alittle while.
Last evening we went to a 5pm mass, and then had a bunch of in-laws over for food and drink. 6 kids and 12 adults and everything went fine.
This morning my son woke up at 730am and we opened gifts. This year was good because we all picked out good gifts to each other, all were nicely thought out.
Cooked a big breakfast and wife made a trifle for this evening and kid went on computer to try out new games.
After my 1 hour power nap, my son went outside with his cousins and I'm here blogging. My wife is having a power nap now.
This evening is at the in-laws and everything will be way too loud, but that's alright, I get to leave at the end of the evening, just with my family.
Tomorrow we have my parents down and after dinner we will walk to my brother and sister in laws' for dessert.
Happy holidays to everyone!

Busy Christmas
We went to two Christmas parties on the weekend, all 3 of us.
First one is the people who lived across the street from where I grew up. My buddy's invite is "are you coming to drink my old man's beer." Well what do you think?
Anyways my parents came as they are close friends and my wife and son did as well.It was a good time, but I chipped a molar at midnight and I have to go to the dentist on tuesday to repair it, temporaily until a crown is ready in the new year. 600 bucks because I didn't look after my teeth when I was my son's age.
Sunday was at friends a 1/2 hour east of here. My buddy and I met when I was 7 years old, and now our wifes and sons are pals. I wish life was always that easy, too many friends leave your lifes because spouses don't get on very well. My buddy is so loud after a few drinks and this damn tooth and booming voice was giving me a headache. Oh well, I survived!
Anytime I see my buddies, the same question comes up, "how's your brother?" He used to hang with all of us, but he met this lady 5 years ago and practically vanished. Not just from his friends but his family as well, with no explanation. Oh well! It's his birthday today, so happy birthday big brother.
We just went over the food list for Christmas Eve and Boxing Day dinner, I figure it is going to cost a few hundred dollars, not including wine or beer. I already have my Kaluha for my eggnog so I am set.
Try it, kaluha and eggnog on ice, very yummy.

Christmas parties
Well the Christmas season is here and the parties have begun.
Last year we had 11 parties to go to in a 3 week span so we decided this year to cut back. Tonight was at my wife's old bosses' house, Nancy and her husband Mark. They are great host, always filling your face with munchies and making sure your glass is filled.
Problem with that is I like to drink and my wife is a lousy drinker.
I was driving so no drinking for me and now my wife is sleeping. She went to bed at 945pm! I'm writing this log at 11pm on a Saturday night and that's no fun. Oh well, next topic!
Started and finished my shopping today. Yea!
Went to the chiropractor today and I feel great. Losing abit of weight and a full adjustment does wonders.
They fit us for masks this week in case of a chemical spill. They told us that if we use the filters once that they would have to be replaced. If I use mine once, I'm geting another job.
I worked three days this week. I think every work week should be 3 days.
I got my passport picture signed by my chiroprator this week. She phoned me back because I go by my middle name and my first name was on the form. I know I was named after an uncle but why would my parents do that to me. I have had so many mix ups over the years, starting from early childhood to this day. Who cares how it sounds altogether, you only use the name people call you.
Passport ready next week and only 2 months until our trip to Jamaica. I played some Peter Tosh songs on the stereo for my son today to see if he liked reggae. He said it was pretty good. Later I put on some Bob Marley for him.
I went in the cd store the other day to browse. I don't always buy anything, but check to see if they have hard to come by cd's. Usually it is a older band that hasn't released alot of their records on to cd.
My buddy and I have been trying to find ZZtops' Deguallo and Fandango and an cd by Yes called "The Yes Album." I found Deguallo about a year ago and he couldn't believe it.
Well yesterday I found Fandango and the guy who runs the store told me about "The Yes Album." We're going to a party next week and I'm going to show him these, he will be pissed.
I know it sounds petty, but it is our little competition. He's a bigger fan of music than I am so will let him borrow and burn.
Time for another rum and coke, have a great weekend.
