We had 12 for Christmas Eve supper at my Cousin Debra's.  Suprisingly, her hubby's cousin did NOT make his annual appearance.  Given the number of cars in front of the house, it's little wonder.  Even I was hesitant to go in.

It was a jolly group, however, and supper was pleasant enough.  The bbq chicken was delish, but the ominpresent/ubiquitous/predictable sides of corn, mashed potatoes and bbq gravy/sauce (served with virtually EVERY meal despite the meat course) was a bit of a letdown.  I had hoped for something green...a lettuce leaf...something out of the ordinary...but, alas....

Still, I ate well. 

My cousin Butch was there and it was the first time in a VERY long time that he and I connected on a personal level.  There was a time, when we were growing up, that I considered him more a brother than a cousin.  But, we all know how some filial relationships go...

Tonight is the "do" at my aunt's house.  I hope everyone's "do" is happy and fulfilling (or at least filling) today.

I heard a line that I thought was quite funny. But then again maybe not.

We had a beautiful Christmas last night. Lots of fun and laughter. I had ham and a baked potato. It's hard not to eat the entire thing but I just ate the inside (the starch) and not the outside (fiber). Since dairy is an issue we had jello for dessert. That was very nice of them to forgo heavier dessert but we are going to Anthony's uncle and aunt for dinner today where they will have real dessert.

I got much more than I asked for present-wise. I got the high end Sony e-reader Daily Edition with a touch screen, wi-fi and 3G access. I was very surprised when I opened the package. I expected an e-reader but not this one. They are extraordinarily generous.

Anthony got a 16 gigabyte Sony Walkman (we're keeping Sony in business I guess). He is also very happy about that. He can take his eclectic music with him wherever he goes!

Oy! Do we ever!

I just called Randy and Jo; they've got my nephews Matt and Tim and Tim's kids Riley and Jayden over and Randy's playing with them. They have a great day planned and sound very happy. As for the Macbeths . . .

This is my cousin Butch in 1951 at 10 months old (holding the baby doll I got that Christmas!!):



And this is cousin Butch today (age 60) (or, last night) with my cousin Debra:

TOD - Richard and I each brought one present to open this morning.  Mine to him is a "scholarship» for an art class and supplies, along with some fancy colored pencils and a drawing book to play with while we're here.  His gift to me is an exquisite ruby and diamond ring that we picked out together before Thanksgiving.  We will have more presents tomorrow evening with Rob and Mary Linda and we'll do stockings with my Mom on Monday.

Mr. Bruce Kimmel has just appeared on BBC Tees via the Broadway Christmas Album. The host, my friend Alex Hall, just played Be A Santa! Bruce, you're international.

Alex is a dear woman and this week's show (which is called Songs from the Shows) is full of musical theatre songs which are Christmas-focused. I helped her fill out the track list with a few of my own choices ranging from the obscure to the well-known.

And the word of the day is: ELEEMOSYNARY!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

One of the Tacoma theaters did ELEEMOSYNARY this year.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I can hear my parents cooking away in the kitchen... Which means I should stay out of the kitchen. ;)

DR edisaurus - I hope the weather "cooperates" with you and Greg and the rest of your family today and the rest of this weekend.

*Of course, I was hoping for a truly White Christmas here in Richmond, but at least we're supposed to get a "pretty dusting" later today and tomorrow.
