It has come down to one hour left working in this holiday seasons. I will actually be off work for 5 glorious days. Well, glorious if you enjoy running around like a chicken with your head cut off from family event to family event. I’m just excited to have a little break from it all.

Last night we debated staying in and doing laundry or going out for beers and watching the game. The beers won out in the end. I’m glad Chad convinced me to go because I had a way better time then I would have watching TV. We went to the Mountain Shadow, which we haven’t been to in forever, and met Dario there. Ryan and Elise followed suit as it was a friend of theirs Birthday that evening, which just happened to take place at the Mountain Shadow. Mike was there too, along with a few other people we know. Ryan ended up ordering food, which was something we were going to stay away from only because of our horrible experience last time we were there. It was 25 cent wings night and we were pretty sure those couldn’t be trusted, but after Ryan and Elise guinea pigged them for us we were sold. Wings all around. They were actually really good, a little too saucy, but other then that, really tasty. I was actually quite impressed.

Tonight we are off to a little Christmas party at Alicias place. I say little but I think something like 50 people are going to show up! Should be an interesting event with my greasy hair and Aspin sweater. Maybe I will stick a Christmas Ornament in my pony tail.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I think it will be a relatively quiet one. Its interesting to think back to last year and how we were snowed in and almost missed Midnight Mass. What a disaster last year was. This year I think we will just hang out and then head over to my parents house in the afternoon and do our Christmas thing there.
