I can't think of any Christmas that I've been associated with where one had to clean gore off of everything.

That was a cute read but I did wince a bit--not just through the bloody parts--because I empathize with you.<BR/><BR/>Nothing quite so dramatic here. <BR/><BR/>Re: H. opening your gifts - D. opened pretty much all of mine, too.<BR/><BR/>As they say in (half) my family: Happy Christmas and a good New Year!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12162443999028523858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-1135890288126305212005-12-29T16:04:00.000-05:002005-12-29T16:04:00.000-05:00Well, I suppose sister could have cut off her enti...Well, I suppose sister could have cut off her entire arm; one should be thankful for the little blessings.<BR/><BR/>This Christmas mini-saga of yours is beautiful in its unapoligetic imperfection. Words cannot express how much I enjoy your writing; your view on life in all its grittiness (and blood spatter).<BR/><BR/>I would love to be as candid in my own family get-togethers, but alas, some family members read my blog, and quite frankly, I haven't the courage to face the consequences of such a brazen act of honesty. One day, perhaps.<BR/><BR/>I wish you a very Happy New Year. Can't wait to read about what happens!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
