Christmas plans & show days
2:25AM on December 22, 2011
After getting into a big fight with my mom last Christmas in front of my nephews (ages 2 and 5) I really didnt want to spend Christmas proper with her and my sisters family again until I can learn to be less of an asshole/accept that my mom is crazy (and so am I). But were going to do it again this year anyway!
Note: this means were moving our Saturday show to Tuesday.
Heres the email exchange between me and my sister:
ME: We will drive up on Christmas Eve and stay the night so we can be with you all, provided its safe to travel.
MY SISTER: The baby Jesus thinks thats swell. We will have hot meat fondue, because nothing says Christmas like boiling oil.
ME: Are you trying to give Mommy and I an anxiety attack with that boiling oil plan? That doesnt sound very child-friendly . . .
MY SISTER: Were starting a new holiday tradition, where each child gets to try to be the Bearer of the Boiling Oil. Whichever one can successfully carry a fondue pot of boiling oil around the Christmas tree three times gets all the presents under the tree, and the loser gets, well, skin grafts I guess. Were looking for a name for it
