Merry Christmas, everyone. Inter alia I received this basketball from me mum.

My family is ultra-progressive. Although my parents divorced 4 or 5 years ago we still spend holidays together. In fact their significant others also spend holidays with us. It's one of my favorite things about my family: there is no awkwardness that can't be overcome. Pictured above: my mom and Butch behind the couch, and my father's girlfriend Aimee on the couch, at my dad's house.
I have enjoyed spending time with these two charming sophisticates. In more than one occasion I've been the only person in a small group not wearing converses. Hip as they may be, I think they're ugly as sin.
