Christmas came early this year

...Because all I officially asked for was the new Annie Lennox Christmas album, and then convinced everyone that it would be excessively lame to actually get a Christmas album on Christmas because then you have to wait a year to really listen to it so instead they should give it to me early, and so then finally tonight we were at Starbucks of all things getting some treats and I saw it on a display at the register and sent Becca over to tell Mom that that was what I wanted (so that she could still get the element of surprise) and then we listened to it all the way home and indeed, up to the present moment wherein I am listening to her crazy-a verison of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (punctuation purposely omitted because I never know if there is supposed to be a comma somewhere in there or not) and so um anyway I made a bet with myself that I could write a REALLY LONG run on sentence and it turns out that I have WON. Merry Christmas indeed.
