Hey, kitty cats! Mama's back! I had the best XXXmas ever. The triple "x" thing is indeed no typo. Christmas at the Hilgers' household is always a wildcard...for various reasons I won't go into... but this year, it rocked the casbah. Here's why:
- None of my extended family got too wasted or belligerent, or came over to our house ALREADY wasted and/or on a tandem bicycle.
- I got a Costco Membership.
- I got to see all my friends.
- I ate a ton of good food.
- I found out my 16 year old sister is a songwriter, and is writing us a special tune for the wedding. (Best XXXmas gift ever!)
- There was no drama. Whatsoever.
Seriously. That last one is a Hilgers Family XXXmas mainstay. I can't remember the last Christmas where there was no fighting, or no drama, or no trying to hide the booze from the alcoholics. Everyone was perfectly zen. Almost too zen. It was weird. Good weird, but still weird... And since there's no way I'm NOT going to refer to Christmas with three "X's," we had to get a little wild to even things out. So once the extended family left for the night, I immediately turned off the Xmas music and put on The Talking Heads. Then the bottles of champy started a -crackin' and the dance party started. Yes. Dance party. The Hilgers like their music. And their dancing. And their extreme silliness. And by the end of the night we were listening to The Flight of the Conchords, playing with my Mom's nutcracker collection, and doing the "boob dance." Like so:
So XXXmas rocked. Hard. I'm pumped. I'm energized. Rejuvenated. Ready to take on 2010 with a clear head and a no fear attitude. After all, I'm gettin' married this year, yo! And we got 7 months left to plan it! But dude, I've never felt more zen about planning this wedding ever. We are totally on track, and have been crafting our BALLS off for the past three days. I'll do a whole other post on crafting, don't worry. Let's just say that I'm a f-cking awesome crafter. Like AMAZING. I was so scared the centerpieces would look like assh-le, but seriously they look insanely good. And they're personalized. And Mike actually enjoyed crafting. Like a lot. Yes. You too can get your dude to craft and enjoy it. I'll let you know my crafting secrets soon... I'm so excited to show off our hard work!
