I am a complicated girl with complicated holiday traditions

I was raised in a household where we celebrated pretty much every winter holiday under the cosmos. It means that not only is my birthday month the same birthday month as Jesus, but I also celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas and Yule. I also share this month with several other people in my family/friendset so this means that December is just nothing but spending money and time on people.

Earlier this week I went down to Olympia to spend Yule with part of my large extended family. I spent time with the sister who had kidlings and the hipster sister.

Here are some pictures.. and a festive hipster yule carol. Enjoy.

This guy wasn't part of the celebration but I had the picture on my phone and it is interesting. Every night I have to come home from work late, this guy is riding my bus. He has a bunny that he carries with him almost every day. When on the bus, he takes her out of the carrier and she runs around his head. Cool huh!?

Brand New Baby Niece, she is a champion sleeper.

This is what 20 lbs of carrots look like.

Another 1/3 of the groceries. 

This is what it looks like when you are tipsy and trying to capture 30 people inside a small living room.

mmmmm Indian Food Yule Buffet!

And here it is! Happy Yule from my younger sister Caiti and all of her Hipster friends.

So that was my Yule. Today will be godchildren gifting and board game night. Then Homo For The Holidays on Xmas eve while I wait for the Hubs to come down from the tundra.. Xmas day will be brunch and Santa Serial Killer movies.. maybe Tron.

Oh, yea.. HAPPY FESTIVUS! 

Also, Happy Regifting Day!

I think I know what I am going to do next year for most of my girl gifts! However, a warning.. you might want to do this project in a bath tub so you wash away the Raver Scabies!
