A Christmas Encore

Tonight we celebrated Christmas. AGAIN. We still had
presents that needed to be exchanged with my cousin and her
family, so we decided to have another Christmas. The
emphasis was more on the presents this time, since it
doesn't make sense for Christ to have been born twice, in
the mortal, flesh and blood sense of the word. We had our
family friend Anders play Santa. At first little Gunnar,
age 2.5, was freaked out. I was too, kind of, because Santa
was wearing MY coat and scarf. And drinking Cognac. Not
your standard picture-book Santa, but very effective
nevertheless.
I bit my cheek the other day. It still hurts. I decided to
put some pain relief gel on it, the kind that numbs the
area. Well, I must have accidentally swallowed some because
now I can't feel ANY part of my mouth, my lips OR my
throat! Now I am all nervous that I am going to swallow my
tongue or something in my sleep, since I can't feel it, and
I am drooling like a little puppy. That would be a neat
trick to play on someone, provided that they don't ACTUALLY
swallow their tongues...squirt numbing gel on them.
Oh yes, and I found my camera, the one that had been
experiencing missingness for a while. The wonderful thing
was that I found it in the very first place I looked. Now
how often does THAT happen?
