We're driving up to my favorite cousin's place in Dallas for Christmas. I'm jazzed, they get Christmas like I do, which is that "peace on Earth, good will towards men" is a goddamned good sentiment to honor. It'll be the first time I've had Christmas with extended family in many years, and to me, that's the Hokey-Pokey.Sounds like you will have a real good time! I'm not doing anything tomorrow but will go to dinner on Christmas. It's a family tradition but hardly anyone will be home. I'll get to see my niece and her hubby and my sister n laws brother.
I'm figuring it will be a very good time. Phyllis, my cousin, is one of the smartest people I know, and funny as all get-out. Her husband, Michael, is also incredibly smart, despite being a raging liberal. We disagree loudly, honestly, and lovingly about our politics. They're both freethinkers, and deist. They're both very educated, informed, and if you put a little wine in them they'll chew your ears off.
I and my son will be there, as mentioned. Two other cousins, whom I don't care for so much but don't often see, will also be there, along with my mom and her common-law husband.
I hope your holiday is a safe and happy one, MR.
