Why, hello Christmas...I didn't see you come in. Give me a second, please, while I finish my turkey. Thanks.
Christmas always comes so quickly every year. After dinner on Thursday, my parents, Mark and I went over to my other aunt and uncle's house to see more family. We hadn't finished dinner an hour earlier and when we got in the car to ride over, Christmas music was on the radio the entire way. I mean, c'mon! I love Christmas as much as the next guy but it just doesn't seem like Thanksgiving gets a fair shake! Is it just me or is Thanksgiving the ugly stepsister to Christmas' Cinderella; the placeholder for the more favorable holiday.
As I sat around the kitchen table I watched my cousins look through the newspaper and analyze the coupons and Black Friday deals. I wish I had been the marketing exec that came up with that one. I just don't get why so many people are enthralled with it. The idea of going out at the wee hours of the morning to get assaulted over sale items just doesn't sound appealing to me. People claim it's fun but it just sounds like a bunch of drama. Christmas cheer anyone? To each his own, I suppose.
Today one of my cousins is getting married. His wedding is outside at a local plantation. The weather is gorgeous so I am looking forward to it. It's going to be amazing. I have heard a few details already and it's going to be one to remember. The wedding is at 5:00pm so that should give us plenty of time to celebrate and visit before we have to rush home, put on our jerseys, and prepare for the Gamecocks to beat the Tigers.
GO COCKS!!!
We are heading back home tomorrow. I love my family but I miss my home and my pup so it will be nice to get back. I hope everyone else has enjoyed their vacation and takes full advantage of these last couple days. December is always a crazy busy month so make sure you take time to rest. Have a great Saturday!!
