That was enough of that.

Next year, somehow, I will make Christmas fun without me running away to Vegas or having to talk to everyone through a finger puppet.

You will remember to pack sock puppets?

[manintheboat.livejournal.com]

Probably.

*I* will, out of self-defense.

I suggest coming to Steamboat. You can cook (as you are wont to do), we can all drink (as we are wont to do), and no one will hold each other hostage over familial obligations, because we'll be doing it because we want to. As, err, we are wont to do. :P

a) I meant with my family.

b) Not until there's no snow.

a) Oh, fine. I don't suppose they'd accept your future lesbian-chicken-farmer-wife as a viable excuse, no?

b) So, April? Or May? Or June? Depending on the weekend, of course.

Somehow, I see a problem scheduling that with "Christmas."

[manintheboat.livejournal.com]

a) That's a perfectly fine excuse.

b) We both know it's still snowing in May... Maybe not even then. I don't go up to my own mountain house.

or having to talk to everyone through a finger puppet.

Hey. I should try that!

Gonzo!

I'm very fond of finger puppets

I had a friend who was sort of experimenting in alternative communications. For a few weeks he talked through his finger puppet "FingerHorse," some people were horribly annoyed. Me, I thought it was the best thing ever. Later he would go a month without speaking to anyone.

When I practiced medicine, I would talk to children with finger puppets, then let them play with them while I looked at their eyes. Adults poking at your eyes is scary.
