How’s your New Years Day going? I slept late. I didn’t fall asleep until 2:00am and I woke up at a little after 7:00am… so I slept REALLY late and am still completely exhausted. Hooray.
The only definite item on today’s agenda is taking down all of the xmas decorations. I can’t wait! I’m so excited for that. I love how much my family loves xmas, but I also love it when we put it away for another year. I want my house back, you know?
HoHoHappy New Year!
Last year on New Years Eve my family huddled around the warm glowing warming glow of the television and watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
This year we made that viewing a holiday tradition by watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Harry’s expulsion hearing is wrapping up right now.
Worst line in the entire series: Padfoot, are you barking mad? You have to know the story to know why that’s such a terrible line. Just take my word for it.
The plan was to have dinner with the whole family after Jen and I finished work for the day. Then my step daughter, Bellana, was going to head back to Vermont. After that we, meaning me, my wife Jen, and my step son Harry, would ring in the New Year together by probably watching a movie or something. Harry was planning to go back to Vermont on Sunday so we’d have him here for the rest of the week.
Now things have changed! Bellana’s Vermont plans have fallen through and she is staying with us until Sunday too! BONUS!
Our Happy New Years Eve plans just got happier! Both kids are here for the holiday! Awesome!
Hello and welcome to New Years Eve! 2025, the year that will see the end of US democracy as we know it, is just hours away! I’m working from home today, which is nice. No commutes for me. Just a desk full of fidgety stocking stuffers that Santa Claus brought me this year.
Any plans for first night? Boston throws quite the shindig. Unfortunately for everyone, I am very old now. Well… I’m old but not that old. I could go… I just would rather stay home and veg with my family and then go to sleep at 12:01am.
Here’s to a nice quiet day at work. Fingers crossed.
Happy New Year.
Every year since I started dating my wife I have been a part of her family’s christmas eve party. They were originally at her mother’s house, then they were at our house, now they are at her mother’s house again. This year, in order to get both of the kids there at the same time, we had to push it from the 24th to the 29th. Today. That means today is technically our christmas eve.
Just when you thought the holiday was over, we pull you back in!
Happy christmas eve revisited, everyone! HoHoHo again!
I cooked lunch for me and my wife today. I cooked it in an air fryer.
I am about to start cooking dinner for me and my wife. I am going to cook it in an air fryer. I just have to wait for the dishwasher to finish so my air fryer baskets will be clean, then I’ll start on dinner.
I think I might be a little obsessed with cooking in an air fryer. Is that even a thing?
The only thing left to do (apart for wait another five minutes for that pesky dishwasher) is to decide what music to listen to while I cook dinner in an air fryer. I’ve been listening to a ton of Tsunami lately. Also a pretty healthy dose of Throwing Muses. Maybe I should drift back toward prog. I’m thinking maybe some 80’s Rush… or maybe some 90’s King Crimson? I don’t know. Let’s just see where the world takes us, m’kay?
As Christmas Days go, that was a good one. I hope you all had a merry Christmas.
Santa Claus came. Mostly. He still has a couple of things to finish before the kids wake up, but it’s 6:30am and there are presents under the tree for the kids.
The kids are both home. Bellana got here a smidge before midnight last night. We’re all here now and all is right with the world.
HoHoHo! Merry Christmas!
There is a photo of me wearing this year’s matching xmas themed pajamas.
No, you are not going to see said photo.
Sorry, not sorry.
