So, I'm helping my folks by wrapping gifts while no one's around. The joys of having done it as a job for a season.

And this one keeps randomly talking.

"You're my friend!"

"Hug me!"

"Foot!"

*Icka! refrains from screaming and frantically mummifies the talking thingie*

Hey Icka-love, I'm back from my mother's house (and eleven days without internet, YEEEE). You're the Family Wrapping Elf too? o_o;; it's getting to be a pain for me... I swear there are more presents every year. I started wrapping on the 15th. Honestly, I did at least an hour or two of wrapping EVERY DAY from the 15th to the 23rd, and there was still enough STUFF left over to have me wrapping practically all day on Christmas Eve, up until nearly 2am. Gweh. Not surprised I had a migraine Christmas morning, nope.

Despite that, this was the best Christmas ever. :D I have mucho cool stuff, I once again got the accolade of "Auntie Melanie gives the best presents!" from the kids, and! I won our all-adults three-hour fiercely fought game of Boggle by four points despite my sister's attempt to nobble me using vodka. XD She started feeding me alcohol when I was about fifteen points ahead, and for the first time in my life, I got drunk. It was quite an interesting experience, though not one I really want to repeat in a hurry; I couldn't walk straight, I'm told I had a very disturbing grin, and I was fully aware that I was NOT safe to do anything more physically challenging than sitting comfortably in a chair proving that my vocabulary still worked. I have also discovered that I am one of those annoying people who does not get hangovers. Quite the opposite; I woke up bright-eyed and cheerful at 7.20am, WAY earlier than is usually possible without major outside assistance. Wow. All those years my mother was frustrated by me not being able to wake up early, she should've been giving me a slug of vodka as a nightcap.

I still need a mailing address to send your Christmas present to, y'know. It'll be pretty late 'cause it's not finished yet...
