How are your festivities going? Ours have been a lot of fun, if not a bit, er, demeaning to certain blogging members of the family, ahem.
Yesterday I found myself squatting over a bathtub at my mom's place, wearing only a shirt and underwear, in front of my entire family, who were relentlessly laughing at me. If I had known that my undies would have been subject to public viewing, I would have chosen a different pair that morning. This one had a large maneki neko emblazoned on the crotch, with Chinese take-out font proclaiming the reader just might "GET LUCKY."
Of course it's totally ironic and it was on sale at Torrid years ago for two bucks, but that didn't matter as I heard one, two, three snapshots taken as I scrubbed foamy poop remnants off of an increasingly distressed and repentant Maggie. Why she chose that day to roll around in cat shit, I will never know. But now we all have this Christmas memory that will never fade, thanks to Tim's digital camera. Of course I'm not going to post one of his pics, but here is a pic of the underwear floating in whitespace:
Go ahead and rinse out your eyes. I'll wait.
Besides mortification, we served up ham, kimchi fried rice, mashed potatoes and turnips, green bean casserole, corn casserole, and crudite with bagna cauda for Christmas Eve dinner. My sister and I tormented and squabbled with each other while cooking, which made my mom laugh. Oscar and Maggie loved getting to visit Halmuni and Harabuji's house, lapping up morsels that dropped to the floor accidentally or not-so-accidentally. A lovely, simple Christmas.
I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday weekend!
