Christmas Eve starts off with a festive dinner, as you can see below. The paper crowns are a relatively new addition to the festivities, and you can see that Dad really gets into it. We then eat a piece of meat and twenty five cakes and pies, and call it a night. Christmas day consists of watching the nephews and Pomme open an endless supply of presents. My invisible sister, the procreating one, once asked me if I were nervous showing all this personal stuff on the internet, obviously misunderstanding the incredibly tiny size of my audience. But I know she's nonetheless not big on this sort of thing, so we'll gloss over her photo and instead focus on Mom, who's more into the celebrity that comes from a starring role in this blog. Here, in a scene straight out of A Christmas Story, Mom plays the part of Ralphie and tries to shoot her eye out.
