Hello, World

I’m a day late? Whatever! For Christmas, the family, Rachel, and I went to my Aunt and Uncle’s for dinner. It was relaxing and the children were better behaved than I thought they would be. Probably tired from all the morning festivities.

From the family I got:

• Clothes and pajamas
• A Harry Potter novel to screen book
• Some records
• Lots of candy
• Muholland Drive on dvd
• Fingerless knit gloves

From Rachel’s family:

• A really nice scarf
• An Ugly Doll from Hannah

From Rachel:

• 2 records: A Clockwork Orange soundtrack, Noah and the Whale’s “Blue Skies” 45
• Labyrinth on dvd
• A really awesome 1890’s gold pocket watch! It currently does not work, and the fix is expensive, but I very much intend on getting it in working condition again!

I had a really good Christmas. My parents did a really good job despite our financial state. And Rachel knows me so damn well. Everything was so spot-on. I didn’t even know that 45 existed and it’s one of my favorite tracks by NATW. I’m a happy camper!

I was really looking forward to a lazy Christmas sitting in front of a fire, watching movies, and listening to music with my family and Rachel. Instead we’re going to be wondering the corredores of an overwhelmingly large house.

I’m exhausted from all my holiday shopping. This suuuuucks.

Mom: Jake…why are Link, Cyclops, a shark and an alien in the nativity scene?
Dad: It’s in the song! Don’t you remember? “Away in the manger, no crib for his head… Link protected the alien from sharks or else he’d be dead.”

My dad also referenced Hyrule earlier. He’s racking up points today!
