Yup, The Holidays(TM) are here again. I just finished wrapping the second half of the bounty I scraped up in the megaplexes not too long ago. Of course, the last thing I think to get is wrapping paper. Then, on the way home from that mess, I remember the tape! Thankfully, a stop at the nearby 7-11 took care of that deficiency.

Anyway, tonight I went to my Uncle's for the traditional party. It was fun, and it is always nice to spend time with family. We opened some gifts in front of the bigscreen where Ralphie and brother were opening their gifts as well. My cousin's daughter is getting big as well. Wow...

The morning should prove interesting. Going over to the parents' house for festivities and dinner. I wonder what time they are going to have to wake me up, as I can imagine how late I will sleep in on my own, since it is now nearly 5am since I finished wrapping and getting ready.

So, until later, I'm going to try and get some sleep. As for my memory, I am here, still watching repeats of A Christmas Story, and I STILL can't remember Raphie's brother's name! Ugh... Unfortunately, too often am I writing here, and entire things I wanted to mention just pass my mind. I try to go back and add them later if I remember, as my long term memory is crystal clear. I can remember things like what the bookshelf looked like in 1st grade, yet I am challenged to wrap a gift, then remember which one it was so I can put the appropriate tag on it.

Okay, clearly, my train of thought has derailed long ago, so this is it before I just end up babbling into nothingness. Enjoy!
