I have successfully survived another Christmas Season. \u00a0A rather pleasant one at that, I must admit. \u00a0So caught up in the revelry was I that it appears I forgot to update this yesterday. \u00a0That leaves me somewhat at a loss to summarize the weekend, as the extra day is more than my aged memory can cope with. \u00a0Friday, as a matter of fact, it a total goner; \u00a0I’ll have to start with Saturday.<\/p>\n
So, Saturday we were fortunate enough to end up with the Munkir’s tickets to the Chiefs game. \u00a0We were also fortunate enough to have these tickets on what must have been the nicest weather we’ve seen on Christmas Eve in history. \u00a0Honestly. \u00a0I’m not interested enough to actually verify this claim, but I can’t imagine it’s ever been nicer. \u00a0We didn’t do the whole tailgate experience despite the weather though, that’s just too much hassle. \u00a0We did actually stay for the entire game though, it was quite exciting. \u00a0(As exciting as a\u00a0disappointing\u00a0overtime loss can be anyway.)<\/p>\n
Sunday, if you weren’t aware, was Christmas Day. \u00a0We had the “Kenagy Family Christmas” last weekend, so this was “Morelock Family Christmas” time. \u00a0I fried up a turkey for dinner this year, which came out pretty well. \u00a0May have overcooked it a little bit, but that’s better than raw I suppose. \u00a0Our friend Susan joined us for dinner also, which was festive. \u00a0After eating an enormous meal and opening presents, everybody enjoyed a few card games. \u00a0Well, everybody but me anyway; \u00a0I abstained from the gambling shenanigans.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I had the day off work. \u00a0I didn’t spend it particularly wisely, but it was OK. \u00a0It struck me that all the recent holiday feasting had left me with the makings of a decent pot of gumbo, so I spent the better part of the day working on that. \u00a0Came out pretty darn tasty too. \u00a0I did take a break from watching the pot simmer to head down and watch the MU game, or the first half anyway. \u00a0Everybody was still all amped up with Christmas spirit. \u00a0I sat out on the back deck with a few guys and rehashed the holidays, enjoyed a decent football game, then headed home and had a tasty gumbo dinner.<\/p>\n
