Merry Christmas
Hey, fellers. Woke up a few minutes ago. The back door at my parents house will open back up if you don't shut it tightly....and by gum it was open this Christmas. Can we hold Christmas in one of the more temperate months next year?
Stoked the fires. Let the pug out of his little house...I think he promptly went in search of the warmth of somebody's bed.
It's 6 AM Eastern, which means it's 3 AM out on the West Coast. Conceivably, Santa could still be making his rounds out in Oregon, Washington and heading up the Pacific Coast to Alaska.
Checked CNN.com just to make sure there were no stories about Santa Claus being blown out of the sky by one of the Surface to Air Missiles they've got protecting our skies.
I mean, the conspiracy theorist in me tells me that they've almost managed to take Christ out of Christmas, and now they want to take out Santa, too.
The clock on the mantle just rang six. I can remember even 10 years ago, when that meant it was still an hour to go before it was alright to yell down to the folks and wake them up. My sister and I weren't allowed to come to the living room until the folks were up. And of course, we were both awake at like 5:15, and we would count the minutes before it was alright to yell down.
Problem was, the parents didn't just have to get up...they had to get dressed, have the coffee made and the camera loaded with film before my sister and I were allowed to even come down the stairs.
Things are different nowadays. My sister works herself silly between her school and her job, so anytime she can snatch an extra hour of sleep, she will. The last couple of Christmases, it's been my folks yelling up to wake us up.
I thought about going to their door and yelling to ask them if it's alright that I get up.
Or even better, I think I'm going to post a note on their door, and shut it that says they aren't allowed to come out until I'm ready for them to come out this Christmas morning. A little Christmas Revenge, if you will.
I hope everything turns out alright for you all this Christmas.
