I got this ornament on post-Christmas clearance last year. It has stars. I like stars.

Hannah and her friend Megan got each other near-identical engraved bracelets for Christmas. It was pretty funny.

Dad sits atop his rickety ladder, decorating the top of the (tiny) Christmas tree.

People are always making a big fuss about my photography. They’ll change their tune in 50 years, godammit.

Hannah and her boyfriend Nate, Hannah objecting to being photographed.

Mom, Don, and Sophie on Christmas Eve. I have NO IDEA what is going on here.

Don, Sophie, and Dad. There was a lot of revelry that I don’t remember, apparently.

Sophie complained about my photography.

Hannah had a lot to drink on Christmas Eve.

My sisters and I all got slipper socks in our stockings.

We do presents in rounds. This was Dad’s turn to pick out a gift for each family member.

Me and Sophie on Christmas morning.

I got Chinese robes for Sophie, Hannah, and Mom. Sophie’s was a reversible dragon robe; here she models the dark blue side.

And from Hannah’s perspective…

Sophie’s haircut is very cute.

Dad in the wreckage. Note the miniscule Christmas tree in the background.

Dad models his new bicycle jersey IN ACTION.

Sophie plays charades on Christmas.

Sophie tries to figure out Mom’s charade.

Hannah has a hard time acting out a charade. She wears her pajamas at all times when she isn’t actually about to leave the house.

Dad got an amazing new wine opening SYSTEM for Christmas. It’s very complicated. He is shown here opening one of the bottles of wine that I got Sophie.

Mom, Hannah, and Dad at Christmas dinner. I don’t know why she’s making that face, but I should note that on Christmas, everyone stayed in their pajamas all day. It wasn’t just Hannah.

Sophie and me at dinner. In our pajamas. Drinking. Times are good.
