I always approach the holidays with a small sense of dread. I dont exactly know why. It’s almost like I expect something bad to happen. It never really does, but it dosent stop me from feeling that way. It’s not like some tragic thing has even happened to me during the holidays. I dunno…
Anyway, this turkey day went rather well. Aliyah and I took a drive over to the D to spend it with Mom, Zo and Deon. Got up there just before noon Thursday, which turned out to be perfect timing. Helped Mom finish preparing and set the table. Of course we were waiting on Zo to show up. Finally about 1:20ish he pops in. Surprise surprise he’s got yet another “new” girlfriend. Some chick named Ebony. With three little kids in tow. Sigh. I dont know what makes him do it LOL This chick, Ebony, at least seemed cognizant of her surroundings. She could hold a conversation. And she seems to have established discipline in her kids. Mom kind of played her blase but thats Mom for you. Zo seems happy so thats all I care about.
Food was awesome of course. Very traditional fare. Turkey, ham, candied yams, baked mac & cheese, cranberry sauce, dressing, greens, corn bread, rolls, the works! Afterwards we all hung out just chit chatting, catching up on things, cracking jokes and what not. Zo and his “crew” skated out early of course. Still it was a good evening…
Don’t know whats up for Christmas yet. Probably wont travel. Depends on the weather mostly. We’ll see…
