Sam and I got up super early this morning thanks to my mom calling and waking us up. We decided to get dressed and walk the neighborhood to see if anything was open. We totally scored. We had breakfast at our favorite neighborhood cafe, Park Cafe, which included French toast (for me), bacon (such a bad Jew), an omelet (for Sam) and a order of corned beef hash (that we split). After breakfast, we toured the neighborhood and went into the little shops that were open. We got a newspaper, got some beer to get us through the day and some M&M Pretzels (a specialty of Regina's Bakery). So, here were are now...Sam's been playing video games and I've been reading James Frey's A Million Little Pieces. At first I didn't think I liked the book, but now, 100 pages from the end, I'm starting to dig it. Tonight we're ordering in Thai food and watching Matchstick Men on DVD. Walking through the neighborhood gave me such a good feeling. People on the street offering holiday greetings and the church on the corner ringing Christmas Carols on their bells. It's nice and warm (well, in the 40's) and raining. And the best part....We don't have to work tomorrow. Gotta run now, we're gonna light the Chanukah candles.
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah!!
