Want to know about the great feast? This was the great feast. *shudder*. Does that picture just scream christmas spirit or what? I guess that's what you get when you sneak up on your family like that...

Remember to check out my card in the previous entry. That's more festive.

Anyway, the feast was actually okay. Mama done cooked nice. And my sickness had waned enough that I could enjoy it. Who needs the decorations or the tree? Not me. I could have used a little snow though.

Giftwise it was okay. When you consider that I wasn't expecting any. Because of the recent hard drive purchase I was asking for cash. Mama had been so busy cooking that she hadn't gone to the bank. So parents now owe me 700 kroner. That's nice. And surprisingly Peter handed me 200 kroners. I didn't see that one coming. All I gave him was that free calendar/planner thing I got at the Barn. He wasn't going to give me anything either. But then suddenly he pulled out this big wad of cash (and by big wad of cash I mean.. little wad of cash) and gave me 2 biguns. Nice. And then my dad got me this shirt from Greenland. It has a weird Greenlandish monster thing on it. I'm not sure what that's all about. But even weirder is the tie he gave me. Made of pearls. I kid you not. It's a tie. You put it around your neck. And it's made entirely of sequenced pearls. He said something about it being a native custom. I think he might be smoking too much Greenlandish tea.

I have never worn a tie in my life I think. Maybe when I was confirmated in church. I don't remember.

But there it is. Merry christmas everyone. At least everyone who is sane enough to celebrate it on the 24th. Coughcough. Another year has gone and.. oh wait, that's the new years speech. Another christmas has gone. Far from the childhood excitement. Even the teenage anticipation. Of course it didn't help that I was still coming down from the sickness this year. Somehow sleeping through the day doesn't do much for the festive spirit. And usually I'm such a jolly motherfucker too.

My mother is on this health food agenda so we haven't even made christmas cookies and marcipan this year. Another tradition down the drain.

But at least all the Danish kids are having fun tonight. If you can't get excited for yourself at least think of the children. Won't somebody please think of the children?

That's it. I'm going to go watch MTV. I've seen two commercials for Earphoria today. It's just such a thrill to see the Smashing Pumpkins on MTV. Even if it is post mortem.

I forgot to ask Santa to get me Earphoria. I can't blame anyone but myself I guess.

That's really it. Goodnight and merry christmas to you all, wether it's ending or just beginning.
