Ah, my crazy parents
"Hi, son! We're going to your uncle's ranch for Christmas this year, except he's turned his spare room into an herb garden, and his motor home's not really big enough for more than us two, so if your friends have plans for Christmas holidays, we're okay with them!"
Well. Not like I *like* going to Crazy Uncle Naze's for the holidays, but man, I hate it when my parents actually beat me to the punch when it comes to avoiding family gatherings. So I suppose my stuff's going under the tree here this year. Whee.

That is to say... it's really quiet in here and it's freaking me out.
(And our family usually stays at Xavier's for Christmas.)

And I still say that if he can't have kids someday, the wedgie had nothing to do with it.
Cool.

We used to go out there every summer to spend a week or two with him. Living hell, I tell you. Fun guy, but stuck in the Stone Age.

Ah yes, primative man ever was concerned about finding a proper substance to repell mind-control lasers. (Though with you in the family it does seem rather an obvious concern.)

He also subscribes to those weird conspiracy theory newsletters. Wonder how he's going to react when Mom and Dad tell him "by the way, our son's a mutant going to that school up in New York". I don't know which is going to freak him out more: mutant, private school, or New York.

I wish I could remember. Namshim would know. he never went to Oklahoma did he? or a powwow?
and he sounds like a very nice man. I ain't had a computer or anything until I got here either you know. I did have a phone though. and a color TV, but not cable.
and I ain't had a "good day" in weeks now.

However, as much as my mother claims to have refomed, I still have my doubts. I've just been telling her I can't afford to visit.

It's possible I'm cranky about it though.
On the other hand, my grandparents don't have to sneak my presents to me this year. My gramma says "What kind of grandmother am I, if I can't sneak my own grandson presents against my idiot daughter's wishes."

Isn't that essentially the basis of the whole of Puritan presence in North America? I applaud your parents for their sense of national consistency, which incidentally serves as an excellent example of Why Americans Are Insane.
But as for your grandmother, nice one! I respect anyone who sticks it to the man. You know. Even if that man is your mother.

And yeah, my gramma rocks. She's totally awesome. My grampa too, but in a more grampa way, and less in the sending me cookies way.

PS - Christmas is always a wearying time. Especially in America. It's so oppressively capitalist and Christian at the same time.

It claims to be a bedtime story. Possibly about people who live in lawn sprinklers.
There's a difference...
When was the last time you saw a Ramadan sale?
I rest my case.
