It's almost like they're trying to avoid me...

Well, it seems that my parents are taking Grandma and Grandpa Pressman to the Bahamas for Thanksgiving this year. What a toss-up. Sun, beach, wonderful weather... that comes with having to deal with the two most insipid senior citizens on the entire globe.

So, who else is staying here for the holidays next week?

Me. Kinda, sorta. Mom's flying in but couldn't get a flight until Thursday evening, really late, so we're having Thanksgiving dinner and everything that Friday.

Perk of dad living in New York is I can go back and forth. :)

Bobby and I are going to the in-laws in Boston.

If I don't make it back, I was very fond of you all.

Wait what do you mean in-laws? Dammit this is the gossip I missed at lunch isn't it? When did you get married? When did you get in-laws?

August, in Vegas.

Don't worry, we're having a proper wedding as well.

DUDE. DUDE. You totally didn't tell anyone! That's awesome! I mean, the married part, not the not telling anyone part!

Man, now I have to go shake Bobby's hand AND punch him. And hug you. But not punching for you. That's mean.

I'd prefer if you skipped the punching part for Bobby too.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little punch?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

I prefer my husband unpunched. It's just a small thing, really.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

But! Manly punching. It comes with the man hug! It's not like an ACTUAL punching. It's like ... like when Forge hits me on the arm for saying something stupid.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

I want to supervise this punching.

Yes, isn't it just? One would think from this she had not made an enormous fuss and bother about having the subject publically aired. Which was foolish, because as we know my decisions are always Right.

Unless, apparently, one asks Jennie.

And you don't do anything by halves either, which leads to some incredibly spectacular feats of Dumb.

I was invited, but I was able to convince the pater familas that in lieu of inflicting myself on the immediate Niarchos clan for Thanksgiving, he'll get the joy of introducing me to the extended family come Christmas. I believe they'll be in Barbados anyway.

And oh, do I have a wiggins.

Holi... oh, that's right, the thing with the turkey and the pilgrims and the pumpkin pie. My guess is I'll be working, to catch up the time I missed being in Berlin, but I might drop by.

I had a thought about New Year's, and HeliX and Silver, that I wanted to run by you and Mark, actually. If you have a minute, want to drop by the office? My treat at that cafe down the road.

I'll be here, as some of us are not yet medically cleared to stray far from the mansion and my People do not acknowledge your American holidays. Additionally, my parents were present for entirely too much of October. Absence, as they say, makes the heart grow fonder. Another year sounds about right.

I'll be at Mom's for actual Thanksgiving but I'll be around otherwise.
