XMas, solstice...whichever

So yesterday was the solstice. We celebrated Christmas with [livejournal.com profile] illyaa's family, including some cousins we don't see that often. Or, in a few cases, that we expect to see a little more of, since they have just moved to Toledo from West Virginia. Festivities included way too much food and chocolate, presents of course, Fluxx of both the Zombie and Monty Python varieties, which I inflicted on people to keep my kids amused, and Guitar Hero. Our nephew is pretty wizard at Guitar Hero, as is Mark, husband of [livejournal.com profile] illyaa's cousin Kim. We got to meet the newest addition to the family, their son Max. Some members of [livejournal.com profile] illyaa's family keep trying to civilize us with gifts of china and other stereotypically gifty things. It never works.

Absolutely! I have to show the video to S...I don't think she really gets how horrific the Old Ones are yet, and that might ease her in to it. :)

be carefull she doesn't wander around singing it.

i've got the "....FIVE ELDER THINGS!!!" going around the office.

Behold the power of the Meme... you cannot fight it.

Now if I could just get the entire setup group infected with Charles Stross I could make Geek Rapture jokes.

we aim to disturb, but we'll settle for entertained.
