Post-Holiday Debrief

Since my last post was slightly (okay, extremely) pessimistic about Christmas with the family, I thought I would do a quick update. Unfortunately, my proposed drinking game didn't really go off as planned as everyone seemed to be on their best behaviors. Other than me being sick, Christmas was a success and fairly drama free! Yay! The only incident of interest was an awkward interaction that Michelle and I had with our grandma's neighbors and their friends in which Michelle was asked to explain her job "in plain English" and I was questioned about the "liberal professors" at UC Davis. It was probably the longest 45 minutes of my life! To top it all off, Michelle and I were mistaken for a couple rather than brother and sister. This is the second year in a row that someone has assumed that we were together... I smell a tradition!

All in all, it was great to be around family and have a lot of good laughs (of course, at the expense of others). Santa was very good to me and I have a lot of cooking to do with all of my gifts!

Looking forward to 2009...
