kryscatA pleasant, if hectic and crowded, xmas eve with my family. First the mad preparation, then the influx of waves of relatives and family friends (16 of us total, so not *that* huge), then several phases of far too much good food, presents, then dessert. Of course the fact that the sit-down dinner for 16 people took place in my parents' not-that-big 2 bedroom apartment contributed to the sense of chaos. Once the guests left, we cleaned up and then Mom, Dad, Ted, Ali, Rob and I sat down to open our presents to each other. We made my dad wait two minutes to open the first present so that'd be xmas.
On to xmas #2 in 9 hours or so. Rob's dad is going to pick us up and bring us the 1.5 - 2 hours to their place. It'll be much more laid back, and there's a whole present ritual. Large house and only Rob's dad, stepmom, stepbrother + wife, stepsister + fiancee, me and Rob.
Tired Krys. We're getting picked up in 8.5 hours or so (he gave us a 1/2 hour time-window). Sleep sounds like a good idea, but I don't know if I'd be able to get to sleep this early. Meh.
