Be back home by 3:15 and nothing but chill til Wednesday morning. Wife and I catching up on some DVR shit, some light drankin'. Life is good.

for some reason i remember christmas eve much more. i can remember a couple times coming home and there being more gifts left for christmas morning. i dont know if that was the exception or im just not remembering right.
we used to split christmas by spending christmas eve with my dads side in the US and going over to Mexico for moms side. not much gift exchange on moms side. it was much more about spending time with family.
nah. my family did everything outside the norm. Like, on thanksgiving while all my friends were still waiting for dinner to be done ...we ate twice already....by like 1pm. My mother didn’t play. We also rarely traveled too...everyone came to our house.
I was the kid that knocked on my friends doors, “yo. what time y’all coming back out?” lol

like. even Sunday dinners. whomever didn’t go to church prepared the meal so when church let out we went straight to the dinner table. I have fond memories of walking across the street from church into my aunt’s house to a set dinner table.
we’re prepared folks lol there’s no such thing as eating late

We ate at 5 and my sister felt bad but that’s fine for me.
Used to eat at 1pm them hit up my dads side of the fam. My aunt wouldn’t finish until 9 or 10 PM. I could hit up 3 family members houses between football games to get a meal on Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Got to Charlotte and took my nephew (cousins son, but you know how we do) to Aquaman, then dropped The Kid off at her homies. My nephew wasnt ready to go home, so he rode with me to the AT&T store and to my sisters house to pick up the football tix. Took him home after that, then went record shopping a lil bit, then to Cookout, then to my parents house...then to bed.
Sunday, picked The Kid up, then went to the game. We left there and went to Mcadenville (https://www.mcadenville-christmastown.com/), then to Fuel Pizza, then to my parents house, then to sleep.
Woke up monday, back to the A, then the 23 year old showed up out of nowhere. Spent the night with us and we all woke up nad had an awesome Christmas together.

Got out and walked around with the kids. That traffic is no joke.
Then we hit the traffic for that place on our way to ATL.
Had a ball in Atlanta. Didn’t do much besides drink way too much on Christmas Eve and then drank water till we left for Charlotte.
Finally got to meet my brothers daughter. She is a year older than my oldest and sassy as hell but they had a ball.
Played Taboo and the old heads kicked ass. These kids thought they were ready for prime time.
Damn shame what happened to my Steelers but we partied like we won because we knew the refs were on some bullshit.
Now I’m back at work and my kids are opening more gifts from fam who mailed them late. So spoiled, I love it.
