here is a Christmas shout-out from Texas

Merry Christmas Eve from rainy Corsicana (Texas apparently confused the "W" word in "White Christmas" for "Wet").

yes, for the fourth straight year, I am not in Billings for the holidays. and i'm fine with that.

i hate traveling during the winter. and since there is no such thing as a trip to Billings in the winter that doesn't involve the Denver airport, i'd rather just walk.

aside from my grandma, i also don't really have a family anymore in Billings. Anthony is staying in Oregon this winter and Alyssa is on the East Coast. Noelle doesn't live at home anymore, my dad is now living at his third our fourth residence of the 2011 calender year and i think that i've mentioned how well i get along with my mother.

and while it sucks that i won't get to hang out with friends or see Del Taco or snow this winter (seriously, what is with this rain?), i'm fine with being in Texas. Chastity's family treats me great and she is really the only family i need.

i actually haven't been back to Montana since the fall of 2009. my next trip will probably be in August for Robyn's wedding. i'll have to get my Del Taco then.

Kelly Clarkson, play me out.
