Tis the Season for Insane Packaging

We made it. We lived through another Christmas. Well technically there is still an hour and 15 minutes left, but I feel fairly confident that we’ll be alright. Due to my phone mishap yesterday, I am completely incommunicado with everyone. I miss you – each and everyone. I feel like I’m on Jupiter or something. 

Our day was pretty nice. At 6 am this morning, Sassy crawled in bed with us to snuggle. I didn’t say anything because I was hoping to eek out a little more sleep time. At 6:30 she asked if she could go in and watch cartoons. 

“Aren’t you even remotely interested to see if Santa and the Tooth Fairy came?” I asked her.

“Oh Yeah!” was her reply.

Oh, yeah? This can’t be my spawn.  My mom used to booby trap the living room when I was a kid to keep me from going in there in the middle of the night.

Since this morning, we have been opening toys. If you really wanted to make a killing in the stock market, you should have invested in that company that makes all the wire they strap around all the toys these days.  I don’t remember our toys being held down by 75 feet of wire when we were kids.  My fingers are killing me.

My Honey has been applying stickers to the GI Joe Command Unit that Santa brought The Bandit since 7 this morning.  There were approximately 37 sheets of stickers to put on this thing.

And as for me, I spent over an hour trying to put a Transformer back into the shape of a jet fighter.  These things are like Rubix cubes on crack.  I’m going to have to send them all to Ava’s house to see if her boy can “transform” them back.

I am writing this post on my new wireless keyboard.  I have my feet up on the desk and my chair tilted back to the furthest position.  Thank you, Santa.  I also got a bunch of book store gift certificates.  WAHOOOOO!!!!

Anyway, it has been a very nice day and I am so very thankful that I still have 2 days off before I have to go back to work.  We should petition the government or the Vatican or somebody to always have Christmas on a Friday.  It’s brilliant.

Much love and Christmas cheer to you all.  Eggnog and Jack Daniels for everyone!
