Merry Christmas! I know I said I’d probably go back to celebrating Christmas as normal next year, but I must admit that being finished and relaxed before everyone else is really wonderful! Today, I plan to go to the movies and make art. I hope that everyone has received my holiday cards by now, and that you have a really great day with whoever you’re spending it. Care to share your plans?

+ sitting on Santa’s lap (who was apparently in the Hannah Montana movie) (this wasn’t actually last week, but I forgot to share it!)
+ getting a new address book and finally getting organized
+ hanging out with Kenna and giving her Kermit & Marbles as her present
+ celebrating Answer The Phone Like Buddy The Elf Day
+ screaming out of my windows out of happiness

+ my Baltimore’s Love Project on my bright red car
+ covering my arms and chest in temporary tattoos
+ phone call with Janice on her way home from Vegas

+ attending the absolute best party I’ve ever gone to, and swimming in this adult ball pit
+ hot chocolate, marshmallow flavored vodka, and real marshmallows
+ Santa’s Secret Room, complete with black light bubble room
+ meeting new friends

+ this dude stripping down from a Santa suit to a thong (and humping the crap out of me moments after this photo was taken)
+ exchanging gifts with my dad (and getting a ton of new postage and DVDs)
