My Merry Christmas

We had a Christmas party on the 7th of this month (December). It was a blast I had a good time. Great people, food, drinks, and toys at every table. This upcoming Friday we’re sharing gifts; I wonder if we should move the christmas tree or just have our celebration in the front of the office this year?

As for home, we normally have Christmas at my grand parents house. We gather-round the tree, someone plays Santa and calls out names. Everyone waits, some get all the attention and others get impatient as they realize their name hasn’t been called yet and presents are dwindling. We eat and talk about our lives and share our presents. Older cousins (me, oldest guy) and uncles make fun of the little ones. It’s good for the kids though, it grows hair on their chest.
My grandparents live a block away and I’ve visited them 0 times this year. Someone punch me.
I’m not good when it comes to family. I don’t know why, well maybe I do and I’d rather just not talk about it right now. Writing this I’m beginning to realize that I should spend more time with them.
Over the years the family fun just stopped. Or maybe I just miss the good old days when I was the kid getting all the presents and throwing all the temper tantrums.
Don’t get me wrong, I see them for most major holidays and we have the occasional hows life what are you doing now conversations. We just haven’t made it past that point lately.
Wow, I really brought this post down. I was curious as to what everyone else does for Christmas be it at work or at home.

Looks like you and Kara had fun. What was up with all the fake tattoos/mustaches? Random but funny.
Don’t worry about your family. I only see 90% of mine either on Thanksgiving or Christmas. If its not at the end of the year, we never talk.

Mr Z - Go see your family. Bring wine and eggnog. Eggnog makes it fun again! - Ed
