Happy (early) Birthday Kialua!
I am also dreading the holidays. Well Thanksgiving. The last Thanksgiving when I lived under my parents roof, my father started throwing the dining room chairs and beat my sister with the phone..... I'm hoping my family will still be in the so-glad-we-all-survived-hurricane-Sandy mode that they seem to be in now. And when not, they will be angry, but over their ruined house and cars.
It's really screwed up that because of a natural disaster we'll have all sorts of things to talk about and plans to make.
This Christmas it will be just my husband, the cat and I, and I can't wait
