Merry (belated) Christmas
 [journal]
Merry Christmas. This year was fun.
We celebrated Christmas with our respective families, then the next day, Gina invited us over for a get-together Christmas dinner/sleepover. It was the funnest (word?) dinner party I've been to. We drank lots, ate even more and played lots of games. We slept, ate more, went to see "Walk the Line" came back, ate, played more games. It was as though we'd all been transported into a chalet somewhere and we were stranded, except this place had lots of things to do, plus we were allowed to leave- if we were so inclined to. Dinner was amazing, and Gina was so cute, she had post-its on the mounds of aluminum foil with baking times and when to put them into the oven. She baked shortbread cookies with little red and green sprinkles on them. She planned everything so amazingly and there wasn't the slightest hitch during the two days we all spent together.
I'm not religious, but I still think Christmas is cool since it's so universal to celebration. I think Christmas is still a time of hanging out with family and friends. Getting plastered is all right too. Eating lots, that's normal around this time of year, and giving to others. So Although I'm not a Christian, I still think Christmas is cool.
Highlights those nights/days:
- "never have I ever"
- Keith as MacGyver, Matlock, and Master Log Turner.
- Keith coming SO out
- Anne Marie's snake dance
- everyone having their own conversations to everyone else at the same time at dinner
Highlights in pictures:
- Joe in the corner of one stuffing his face.
- Joseph's bread question-mark.
