Day 102: Merry Christmas!

"I love our holiday traditions especially the ones where we go out and chop down a tree and put it in our living room. It kinda sounds like the behavior of a drunk man, really. Some woman wakes up;“Honey, why is there a… pine tree in our living room?”

“I LIKE IT. We’re gonna… we’re gonna decorate it… for JESUS. And then I’m gonna hang my socks over the fireplace, fill ‘em with candy…

maybe I’ll tie some leaves to the ceiling

and see if I can get some action. And now I’m gonna puke on that couch. Merry Christmas.”

--Jim Gaffigan

Well my blog just got all kinds of better with my Christmas gist of the year, my new camera! I am just as pleased as my regular viewers that we will now be able to actually see what I am wearing instead of guessing from a blurry outline and awful description. Unfortunately for you, this might mean more unnecessary photographs of things with no significance to fashion or any of your lives and also give me more room to rant and ramble but hey, I am excited to finally have my own camera again since July 2009.

I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas. Mine was wonderful with the mixture of movies, wine, dinner, politics, ridiculous conversation, and a game that I forced all members of the family into playing. And it was fun! Really. It was..

I would also like to report that the cake was an absolute success. I am very impressed with myself and I now know that not only can I cook pies, I can do cakes. Jim Gaffigan will be proud. Maybe one day I will make him one.

Holiday Favorites:

1. The jean skirt contraption my mother made for me. I love her very much.

2. The fact that my aunt and I both did not finish each other's gifts.

3. My new pie tin and book.

4. The new Shel Silverstein poems book.

5. New Christmas socks.

6. And the image that will haunt my brain and keep me from ever having a lot of money of my Uncle Stan in a sequined American flag speedo and a Jimmy Buffet XS tank-top with a bronzed beer belly guarding and cleaning my pool saying, "Mi perro tiene problemas en la piscina."

The holiday garment included the dress being worn in true form with the strings being used as a belt, grey Target tights, Frye boots, my llama sweater, and a Christmas hat!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!
