I will be the first to admit that I have enjoyed much of their music, as well as a good half-dozen of their live shows. But, sometimes, it's just hard to take these two seriously.

Really?

Getting to use my new cookware lol

And not a lot of Christmas gifts have come with more thought put into it than the one I received from my brother-in-law on Christmas Eve last night.

I have gone on to medium-sized lengths on this platform about how much I dig my in-laws, and it was with a certain amount of glee that I learned my BIL Casey had drawn my name in our Christmas gift exchange. So, last night, as we gathered at Mrs. Chicken's family's house for mirth and joyous company, I was presented with a gift-wrapped box.

This note was atop the container's innards.

Note

Himself a father to a 19-month-old baby girl, my brother-in-law's note was an interesting teaser to a man whose wife is about to give birth in 8 weeks. Rooting around the gift box, I discovered these ear plugs,

Plugs

and ultimately, the jackpot, which included the two kickass Reidel Bar glasses you see to the right.

His explanation? I paraphrase:

"There are going to be nights when that baby is crying and there is absolutely nothing you're going to be able to do for it. It's been fed, diapered, and everything else. There are times when it's just going to have to cry it out. The only thing you're going to be able to do is put in those earplugs and pour yourself some Scotch."

Quite arguably, the best, most realistic, most you've-been-warned type of advice I've ever received.

I really do NOT look forward to using the gift. However, it is of comfort to know not only that it is at the ready, but it brings to me great holiday joy to know of the place from where the gift came. Thanks, Case.

Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday.  Santa was very generous and got me a Coach Sabrina satchel this year. 

Yesterday was Pat's 22nd birthday.  It was a lot of fun, and by the end of the night, I was having WAAAAAAY too much fun. All I will say is that a.  I will probably never drink Crown ever again and b. I did shit last night that my family will taunt me about for all of eternity.

I'm very glad to be here at home, spending this Christmas with my family and closest friends. I hope that you all are just as blessed wherever you are.  <3
