Merry Xmas! Unlike the xmases of my youth, no one is crying, and no one has been threatened with castration. There is no Mexican girl hired to clean up the mess to call a whore, and people are not hiding in the bathroom. There is tons of food of the Polish variety, and everyone got presents, and I did not get a $5 bill or a pillow in a trashbag. This is a good Christmas!
We're near the elastic part of the mitten. Berrien County is a series of unfamiliar trees, a long and touristy coastline with "beach" (californian must put quotes around beach, as it is sandy and beachy, it's Lake Michigan..come on!) I was hoping for a little snow, but no such luck. It's about ten degrees colder than ATX and everyone's lawn is green.
I'm pretty much obsessed with Bob's mom's pierogis. They are doughy and contain cheese and sauerkraut and fried in butter and onions until delicious. The entire family stayed up until 2am (my mom would have been asleep by 9:30) opening presents and eating. That's Christmas!
