Incredibly gracious, both, despite the flying plates and shoes; our house used to be serene. 

Christmas day, bright outside, but I see rain. Sinatra and Sid Vicious wait in the queue, and I wait and wonder when I get to sing.

My way isn’t to lecture or threaten, but rather to crackerjack the years in a manner befitting tradition. Sinatra and Sid Vicious used to attend separately, but I still only know the one song. This year, the plot is without predict, yet the night ends without souvenier.
