It’s The Most Busiest Time Of The Year.

A Merry Grismas and a Just Batmas to you all on this frosty Sunday morning. I’d like to set the tone for this post, so here’s a little old style new Metal complete with epic beard windmill and solo way up on the tiny strings:

Where to begin? I guess I’ll begin with me prepping for the long haul of family Grismas yesterday morning. It’s as good a place as any to start. I had just finished whipping cream cheese together with heavy whipping cream and shaping a volcano of sorts out of it, which I then filled with apple and red pepper jelly, when I had the thought that the mail might actually run on Grismas eve. For some reason I thought that checking on the innernet was easier than going to the mail box and looking like an idiot for checking his mail on a day that it doesn’t run. I was in my pj’s and robe, so it would have been even worse. Turns out that mail was running yesterday, so I went to check it. And lo and behold I had a package waiting for me. It was from “Ulysses Press”. I had no idea what it could be. I figured it was a presnent from somebody in my printing world. Maybe Amy the Amazing, or somebody.

But, no. It was a presnent from Batman. Remember months and months and months ago when I submitted mine and Zaxxon’s photos to Young Me/Now Me for their book? Well, it finally came!

I had forgotten all about it. I have to say that it was a very pleasant surprise. I called Zaxxon to let him know about it and he swung by with Patty McJizzalonyourfacebitch and B-Supreme to check it out. You know what that means. Mr. Freeze came out to play.

B-Supreme.

Patty McJizzalonyourfacebitch.

Then Prince Jazzbo showed up to get me for the family dig. I got one of my presnents from the Royal family early, as soon as they got to the party. Yet another unexpected gift. One which I had expected no body to find. La Duchess found me a blind man’s cane. You know, the white stick with the red tip that blind people use to feel where they are going. I’ve been wanting one ever since a few people had asked me rather bluntly if I was blind a few months back. Me? Blind? Sure, why not?

Then food, and singing, and the White Elephant exchange. I got a travel version of “Trivial Pursuit Totally 80s” in a lunch sack. I was having such a good time (read as: focused on drinking coffee) that I forgot to take my usual family photo until most of the people had already left. Nobody seemed too broken up about it, so I didn’t feel too bad. I did manage to get a couple of photos of family member with my Nanny, much to her dismay, though:

Then, it was off to my parents’s house for more presnents. Real ones. Then it was home and an episode of Star Trek before bed. Overall I had a pretty good haul considering how shitty of a year it’s been, how broke everyone is, and how nobody was really into Grismas this year. Check it:

Zaxxon got me a travel utensil set that I was lusting after. Lee-Roy! got me an “Arkansas Toothpick”. And the fam got me a new cell phone, the HP box set, a sauce pan that helps complete my new set of cookware, and had secretly plotted with Pancake Land on Wii stuff, including the new Zelda game. Plus, Santa (Alfred) gave me tons of little goodies to fill in the gaps.

But don’t think that the festivities are ending there. Oh, no. I have somehow been talked into having Grismas dinner at my house today. The more the merrier apparently, so feel free to drop by around 3pm with something tasty to eat. We’re doing a potluck of sorts. Or just show up. Whatever. I’m going to go poop and then, after a thorough handwashing, start prepping my kitchen for other people to see it.

Have a wonderful rest of your holiday, whatever you may call it. Either way, I’ll probably see you in a little while. More soon. ~SC
