Christmas without having to work at the Lobster is a gift in itself. And I'm looking forward to drinking myself blind on New Year's Eve and sleeping in the next day until the threat of pissing myself forces me to get up.
I don't have a lot of close family (though I do have a large family) so generally I end up with my old lady's family. And short of the hot skanks in the video below, it looks a lot like that, though dominoes are sure to make a showing every day.
If you are waiting tables this week, may your bank at the end of the night be big, your customers generous and patient, and you cooks mostly sober! Be safe out there, have fun, and merry fucking Christmas!
My Christmas list if you are buying (it's your money, so I'm going to be generous to myself):
I tried this Scotch a while back and was impressed. Outside my normal, but an interesting contrast.
The only thing ever made by a Michael Jackson I'd be willing to admit I own.
This is to help me forget my name on New Years.
I tried this at an upscale joint a while back (don't ask what the pour price was...) and was blown away. Thankfully, I wasn't paying that bill. The old lady's boss likes a good Scotch and doesn't like to drink it alone. Me likey!
Yes, I'm that old fat bastard that runs in New Balance shoes. I have to do something to keep from getting fat(er). Between booze, not waiting tables, and being home near the fridge more, the shoes should probably be first on my list.
I'm tired of carrying my laptop everywhere. I had a
Netbook, but that sucker fried itself a while back. I think my
Macbook might be on its way out too (yes I backup regularly). With an iPad I'd just build a low price box for my home and use the iPad 90% of the time I suspect. Since I already have an
iPhone, the iPad seem the way to go. If I have to spend my own money, I may very well venture into one of the
Chromebooks. The old lady already has one of the
Amazon Kindle HD's (she's the early adaptor of the household, I get her stuff as hand-me-downs, which is how I'm rocking an iPhone now). And since the old bag won't share her fun toys, I'll just have to get my own. No perv, that doesn't mean sex toys.

It never seems like Christmas at the Red Lobster.
We cannot have a Christmas tree because it might offend some of our guests. This year we don't even have the few Poinsettia plants scattered around that were suppose to bring in the Christmas cheer.
Darden will not give their employees a Christmas party, or even send us a Christmas card.
We are allowed to wish our guests a Merry Christmas as opposed to the Happy Holidays rule in past years.
Darden makes Christmas a depressing time for those of us who are still hanging in there.
