So this time last year I was in Irving, Texas, getting drunk off Dogfish Head and Woodford Reserve and watching Exo Squad.
It kinda sucked on a whole bunch of levels, actually.
Now I'm back in Chicago. I just finished wrapping presents in a style I like to call "Aspirational Half-Assed." Yesterday I wandered about in the Kristkindlmarket before having dinner with my family at Miller's Pub and going to see the CSO's "Welcome Yule" program. I even went to church tonight and managed to not spontaneously combust upon walking through the doors.
Now I'm listening to Harry Connick, Jr.'s When My Heart Finds Christmas. Life, it must be said, is good. Although I was going to watch the Venture Brothers Christmas episode, but it turns out I don't actually have it on DVD. I am slightly disappoint.
Either way, here's hoping that your Christmas is filled with warmth and joy. And make sure to avoid that Rat King guy. He's kind of a jackass.
