Santa's big but your parents never told you about Christmas Steve!

It’s been a few days since I have updated here but not too long. I think I am getting better at this, updating anyway. The writing, well, it’s coming along but I have been distracted with other things like fishing and Christmas.


Yesterday, I left work a little early: boss tells you to leave, you leave. Came home and was able to spend some time with the little one and relax a little before the fray began.

We had burritos again, my favorites, and I made some refried beans, which, were a little runny. Then, after dinner, the beans had set and were perfect for burritos. Figures.

Today I stayed with Keira while my wife went out to finish some shopping and such and we had a great time. We had breakfast together and chatted and played. At one point I said “Keira, you know what tomorrow is?”

“What?” she says in her quick cute tone.

“Christmas Eve!” I say.

“Christmas Steve? Who’s that daddy?” she says.

“No Christmas EVE.”

“Who is he daddy?”

“I give up. He’s the elf that comes before Santa and sets everything up.”

“Oh. Okay. Oliver’s a bad boy. He blah blah….” And she is onto the next thing.

Christmas time and Christmas crazies are out. Isn’t it funny how we aren’t a Christmas crazy but everyone else is? Anyway, we’re out today and driving around and this guy almost slams into us in an intersection as he is turning our way. He is in the intersection and is trying to beat the light as I am in mid turn. He beeps at me as if I am wrong. Oh well. And the day went on with more of the same, someone jumping lanes and swerving, to someone seeing I am not as fast as they are and skirting around me. Let it go boy.

We got some stuff done today but not all. I get to take in two big hams tomorrow for work, I always like doing that kind of stuff. And we are planning our meal here at home as well. Tapas tomorrow night and big meal on Saturday. So I need to get back to that now.

I already have some good gifts given to me early and I love them. Especially my coat today. Its nice, very nice!
