Do you guys remember this book? 
This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. My fourth grade teacher used to read it to us and I used to dream about turning my house into a frozen paradise filled with circus penguins.
Dream up an adventure, my friends, and it may just come true. ; )

I woke up this morning and thought, “Now what?” I have no gifts under the tree. What does one look forward to on Christmas morning? But then I looked over at my phone and thought, “I’m the luckiest girl in the world.” I had dozens of sweet messages in my inbox from wonderful friends, near and far.
Bionic Woman and I had a lovely Christmas Eve. We were a little over ambitious. We ordered 5 sushi rolls and finished about 2. 
I had five movies but we only got through 2, Love Actually and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Both were excellent. Love Actually was all about telling someone how you really feel on Christmas. I wonder if I should do the same and tell my crush how I feel. I imagine the scene where the Prime Minister, played by Hugh Grant, knocks on every door in London looking for Natalie in order to tell her how he feels about her. I picture myself knocking on every door in Queens looking for The Crush. Bionic Woman tells me that might be a lot of doors. I think so too.
Today, I plan on calling all the people I love, eating leftover sushi, drinking peppermint tea, watching Christmas movies, and snuggling with Gus Gus:
Tonight, I plan on capitalizing on my orphan-ness and making my rounds in NYC, seeing who will take me in and love me. ; ) Hope your day is filled with peppermint, cinnamon, sugar cookies, cheap booze, and warm fleece hugs!
I can’t believe Christmas has snuck up so quickly. When I was younger I used to be so excited about opening presents on Christmas morning that I would sleep under the tree on Christmas Eve just so that I could be right there once morning came. The only problem was that I still wet the bed at the time and I peed all over everyone’s presents. That put an end to the sleeping under the tree tradition.
Aside from that I don’t really have any holiday traditions but I think I’m finally coming to terms with that. For years my brother and I would meet at my mom’s house in Jersey, but after an hour of being home we would be so depressed that we’d have to go to a local gay bar for martinis.
Tonight, I am having a slumber party with Bionic Woman. I have on my red long john pajamas, I bought a large bottle of cheap champagne, hot cocoa, and snacks, we’re ordering sushi, and we’re gonna watch movies all night long. I’m so excited. Here’s to a non-traditional Christmas!
A Thai Christmas: (happy nina)

Wishing you all a naughty, snuggly, and fantastic Christmas!
