Here the day after Christmas is called Christmas Day. Confused? Me too. Apparently the Japanese have believed for a long time that us Westerners celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. So they do. But it's really like Valentines Day in Winter. Pretty much every young couple go out on a date that night. The next day, Christmas Day, is not even a public holiday! I think they may have gotten the notion from some Hollywood movies portraying various versions of Clement Clarke Moore's famous poem. Anyway, my honey and I celebrate on the correct day with all the trimmings and a ridiculously large Christmas tree. Sadly, no fireplace. I live on the 5th floor of a large apartment building.

I always thought the Dutch were wise. This confirms it. Writing a public holiday into the statutes to recover from Christmas is brilliant! Is it otherwise known as National Hangover Day?

Logical, all women seem pretty awesome when you have been drinking hard.

He glared at me for almost a minute without saying anything while I thought "I'm getting kicked out now."

The vicar who married me and my ex was a family friend, and an absolute scream. He laughed the loudest at the rude jokes my best man told at the reception. He laughed so hard at one about Dolly Parton, he almost fell over the back of his chair.

It was a series of fake good wishes cards from celebrities thrown in with ones from friends and families. Out of the context of the others it's not that funny, and can't remember it that well. I can remember the reaction it got though!

The church was getting together a directory of its members with their pictures so my wife said lets get our picture taken for the directory. I didn't really feel like it but finally agreed. There was a photographer near the church who was doing the work and my wife called to make the appointment and get the address. So we went over a few weeks ago to get our pictures taken and, of course, while you're there, they end up getting you to have a picture taken for your personal use. We had the picture taken but there was one problem. Before going there, I had written down the address incorrectly and instead of taking ten minutes to get there, I took almost an hour. After driving around for a while, I finally realized something was wrong and called around to get the right address. I thought it was the photographer's fault for giving the wrong address but it was my fault for writing it down incorrectly. Since I didn't know this until I got home, when I was getting the picture taken, I was mad as a hornet, and I couldn't bring myself to smile. So here's the resulting picture:
