christmas is like, okay because i get to see my neice who isnt even one finally maybe crawl a little bit and sit up on her own while i stick christmas bows on her head. also, i get freddy a stocking every year and he actually pushes his way into it and drags his presents out and gets excited and shakes his head around and stuff.
also, i never buy presents (i was telling goatschool this) unless i want to. i dont begrudgingly go shopping and get all miffed. like, i buy shit for people i like and am excited about getting them stuff and excited to give it to them. christmas gives me a good excuse for showering my parents with clothes and weird shit they never allow themselves to buy (ie, a 'make your own volcano' kit for my dad and a velvet running suit for my mom).
plus i drive all the crazy old black and italian relatives to midnight mass and they're all insane 80 somethings.
