okay, this claim that santa is actually from iceland? is total bullshit. it's totally obviously he lives above the arctic circle in either finland, sweden or norway. take a look at this washington post travel article and gorgeous photo gallery about a trip to lapland. if you were santa, wouldn't you choose to live there instead? plus, in lapland, REINDEERS OUTNUMBER PEOPLE. hello.
iceland. bullshit.
last night was my grandfather's 81st birthday. he and my grandmother (who celebrated her 81st a month ago) are in town for the holidays. so my family and my uncle's family got together to celebrate the only proper way: with a crapload of food and a bouche de noel sent straight from the devil:
the bouche was so tasty, as much as the elf scared me. you can see a set of photos of it here.
today involves some last-minute shopping (i thought so smugly i was set, but i should have known better), maybe some viewing of the redskins game, and then another big ass meal. merry christmas to you and yours!
