On Christmas Eve, I stayed home, got on the internet, napped, and then watched "Creature Comforts" and some "Full Metal Alchemist". I cooked myself dinner and lounged alone peacefully. Then I sat and nodded in quiet awe as Merla upon her return from Grandmother's house regaled me with her tales of her cucumber salad and our cousins' MR children. Also, my mom's gay cousin visited. I like him, but I figure it will be about another year before I see him again, barring a family death of course.
