"we seem to just do the same thing every year with very little variation. I used to like trying to make things different, but now I just want to get it over with."
It's true, as the family dwindles, our little gatherings get to be more and more... little gatherings. I miss the days of scavenger hunts (though the folks did put one together for me this year, which was a blast) and stuffed stockings and mass chaos, but I suppose its hard to do that without a younger generation around. It's hard to believe that going on 28, I am still the baby of the family. I still feel like I shouldn't be at the adult table with everyone else, and that my role is just to sit and listen (fortunately, the stories are as good as ever, and now I actually get most of them).
"Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Donner, Prancer,Vixen. And that other guy, if he counts."
Ahem, I believe he is the most famous reindeer of all.... except possibly Randolph.
