There is no one at work today; this place is like an abandoned warehouse. Really, it's not like I have anything better to do, but I resent being here.
I have to buy stockings and candy from Dylan's with which to stuff said stockings during my lunch break. I stole the idea from a coworker which is why I'm doing it at the last minute. Otherwise, I've done all of my Christmas shopping/wrapping/shipping. I'm still in shock that I completed everything so early (for me) and that everyone will actually get their presents on time.
I'm spending Christmas with my mom tomorrow during the day and then The Big O at night. I didn't do Thanksgiving with my mom because of the trip to Barcelona - a fact that she ruefully recounted. This was first Thanksgiving that we haven't spend together since coming to the US 24 years ago and though she tried to hide how upset it made her, I could tell she was genuinely distressed. I think she expected this to happen sooner or later but I don't think she could really prepare herself for it. So, yeah, I'll be with my mom during the day and then head over to The Big O's at some point.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, Season's Fury to those who don't.
