MERRY XMAS

Non-Phish General

Have a Great Day my Okeepa friends.

Get close to your family and friends today, and give them something meaningful from your heart. Let them know, as much as I do from your interaction in our little world here, what warm and loving people you truly are.

So after the fanfare and hoopla, the food and football, when the you recognize how lucky you are and how wonderful life really is, take a moment to tell dad and mom, sis or bro, child or grandchild, best friend or lover, how much you really love them. It doesn’t have to be a long speech, or a catchy phrase. You simply have to let them know you mean it.

Kind of like this.

Merry Christmas.

That’s so true Bill. This Christmas more than ever, I really appreciate I have family and friends that love and care for me as I do for them, and everyone I know is healthy. I don’t think Christmas can be better than that.

Merry Christmas, my friends!!

I’ve had a wonderful one. My grandparents actually showed me some respect last night. My sister also! Today my family gathered around the tree at my mom’s and did presents, and then we ate gravy, biscuits, and eggs! A true southern Xmas.

I’ve been playing with my new DXG video camera that takes stills and records audio. I’ve also been playing with my new minidisc recorder and burning Phish all day!! WHOO! I hope everyone has a Phish filled Xmas.

I’m glad Christmas is over. I don’t even like my new wallet. It’s too new. I was used to having a wallet that was a thread from falling apart for 5 years.

New Year’s is a way better holiday. I’m beginning my New Year’s party right…now!

whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

#18

Wahoo!

#19

well that was a lot nicer and stress freer than usual although not entirely stress free, what with crazy families and what have yous.

good food though and some good homemade NOG! from an old family recipe we’ve never tried before. Sweet.

Just got in from my 4 days at my sister and new bro-in-law’s casa. It was cool. I think I drank more there than I have here in 6 months. It was good to spend time with them. The more I get to know my BIL, the more I like him…not to say I didn’t already like him from the get go. Just saying. He’s really a great person and I’m stoked my sister has such a good husband.

It sucked that things were weird between my mom and sister. Mom’s pissed at my sis for getting married and moving away thereby making my mother get off her princess ass and run the store she opened, lol. My sister told them about the wedding before she even got her engagement ring, but apparently they are holding her leaving over her head. It’s a really shitty situation for my sister. Can you imagine having somebody who’s treated you so poorly in your house for 3 days? My sis is a trouper!

This weekend was the first time I’d seen my brother in a good while. It was weird at first, but as usual I won him over with my charm :slight_smile:

Got the shaft from Santa as usual. The 3 things I asked for (a ceramic dutch oven, a food processor, and an MP3 player for the gym), I didn’t even get…but they did buy me 3 REALLY nice pieces of cookware, so I shouldn’t complain. It’s not that I don’t want them because I’m all about cooking and all the equipment that goes along with it. They had bought me a less expensive version of 2 out of the 3 pans just a couple of xmas’s ago. They work perfectly fine and I love what I already have. When I told my mom they already gave me some that size, she says, “Well it’s not (insert snooty brand name here).” Seriously mom? Oh well, that’s my mother for ya. Instead of getting me what I ask for, she upgrades what she already gave because it’s not up to her standards anymore, lol. I shoulda just taken the money like I usually do.

My daughter CLEANED UP! She got everything a young girl needs to have the coolest bedroom ever. We’re talking bedding, chairs, pillows, wall art, lamps, drapes, a rug. She’s so excited about it that I may never get her out of her room now. She was such a doll all weekend. It was alot of fun to set it all up with my parents and sister helping out.

All in all, not a bad time. Good food, good times, and good gawd it’s finally over!!

^Ollie, what games did she get for the Nintendo DS?

^Here’s a Nintendo DS Christmas story. Last year, Marie read about this program called “Brain Age” designed to help old folks challenge their cognitive and memory functions, so she went out and bought it for herself after Christmas, not realizing it was a DS cartridge.

So it sat atop our DVD player all year, even though she said she was going to return it. So when one of our daughter’s was disappointed that the earrings she had intended to buy Marie for Christmas weren’t available anymore, she called me up for suggestions. That’s when I told her about the Brain Age on the DVD player.

Needless to say, Marie was really excited when she opened her DS Lite, and was brain aging herself by the next morning over coffee.
