tradition

christmas eve goes something like this:
very early morning katie gives me the best christmas present ever. heh heh heh. get a few hours sleep. wake up at eight and take a shower...together. eat breakfast with her parents (do you have any idea how hard it is to eat breakfast and discuss college with the parents of the girl you just slept with and keep a straight face?) escape back upstairs [ostensibly to get stuff together] and have a minor makeout session. ten o'clock my father arrives to pick me up. annual christmas food shopping trip to cosentino's, consisting of craziness such as eggplat, jicama, three bananas, and trying to find the bloody currants. not such a hard thing, one would think. HAH. what on earth were they doing on the peanut butter and bread aisle? two o'clock we decide maybe we sould go get a christmas tree. drive around from tree farm to tree farm, all the way down to gilroy and back. start with the cut-your-own lots...all closed. drug stores, grocery stores, vacant lots...no trees. none. two hours later we turn around, come home, and cut a branch off an olive tree in the back yard. yup that's right. our chritmas tree is an olive branch. wheeeeeee.

christmas has this habit of being strange around here.
