He ended up sleeping for a lot of the day just because of how uneventful it was until the food got there. We had Colton&#8217;s, which could have been better just for being kind of cold by the time we got it, but it wasn&#8217;t bad. Afterward we just went around the table playing Dirty Santa. David was sat next to me, and Teisha had him start. Then it went all the way around and I was last. Shane actually got the toilet golf set that I brought, and he seemed tickled, which was the best possible outcome, I think. When it got around to me, I stole a returning &#8220;boss voodoo doll&#8221; from Scott, which had been re-gifted a couple times in previous years, along with a small handful of lottery tickets. It happened to be David who regifted that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon dragged on pretty awfully after not leaving for lunch. I sort of dreaded coming back home, but I guess it was water under the bridge by then. Summer and Eaddie were watching TV. I took Muad&#8217;Dib for a good run, and then I warmed up leftover pizza for everyone when we got back. The girls decorated the tree and I watched a little bit of YouTube as they finished up and went to bed. I started dozing on the couch, so I had to get up from there to go to bed myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8230;to shreds you say?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muad&#8217;Dib had to wear his ugly sweater again all morning today since we had our Christmas lunch and Dirty Santa.
