the typical family portrait

    Everyone knows how painful and torturous it is when Christmas rolls around and the relatives say, "Time for a family PORTRAIT!" Well, as you can see, that even happens to me once in a while, spectacular and creative as I may be. So, I present a part of my family, mom's side, complete and in character. In order, left to right then back to front, are my aunt, uncle, cousin, grandmother, uncle, father, aunt, mother, brother, ME ME ME. I think I was hungry (never get any food around Christmas, you know how it goes.)

    It's a great bunch of people that surround me, I hope they know that. What? Of COURSE we took a serious picture too, but wouldn't it be cool to slap this puppy on a card and mail it to all our prestigious friends? Knowing our tendency for accidental insainity, never dismiss the thought. So, as Christmas is forever on the way, I give you my own personal Christmas card.

    Further, if anyone wondered, our annual Christmas Eve celebration consists of some great food, some more great food, some cool munchies (for when you're hungry again, heh heh), the Time of Hallowed Present Opening, and usually some sort of refuse battle, depending on whether we get real wrapped presents with bows or those pesky Christmas bags for the lazy. There's nothing quite like it, even though school usually lets out a day or two before 'Eve and shopping becomes something of an adventure trying to avoid crowds at 4AM......

But there you have it, I think our character speaks for itself. Happy hunting!
