Let me do this quickly, before the New Year Party :) For those who are already in 2019, sorry :)
I am doing my new year eve party at my place. But what about Christmas?! Yes, I know that Christmas time is family time...why? I just want to do my things with out worrying that the family is feeling left behind. I have my own family now to spend time with - and a dog #odri #dogdaughter.
So, eventually I found myself in our car taking the last trip of it :) Christmas no.1 - after a 1 and 1/2 hour drive, everything was OK, we had something to eat, to drink, we went out at the pub for a couple more beers, dodge a street fight and then, back at the house we ate a little more and drank little more, around 2 AM went to bed - fire in the fireplace, the smell of wood in the room, my girlfriend by my side, the dog between us, making the bed even smaller......perfect night to wait for Santa.
Christmas no. 2 started at 12:00 PM the next day, with a drive of 1 and 1/2 hour towards the sea side. Perfect weather, perfect mileage, perfect girlfriend, half destroyed dog for being in car :))
ETA about 2 PM at the other family. Parents, us, dog, all of us in a 4 bedroom apartment. Car, parked outside in the cold. And here we go again, eat, drink, talk, laugh, eat, drink, think about the dog and taking it outside just to walk around the block with no chances of relaxing taking in consideration that the whole town was transformed into a war zone - firecrackers all the way, just jumbo sizes only!!
Again, all it was OK, I climbed the three level building a dozen of times just to be sure that #odri does not that a crap on the carpets. Again and again until she craps eventually on the carpet - damn it dog. Erase the crap, erase the episode, move on into the night just to leave the second Christmas towards No. 3...........
I forgot to mention that No.1 and No. 2 were covered in tears by the parents when we left. Like it was the last one - just like in the song of WHAM.....Apocalypse now :)))
Not really then but a few hours later ...when it was our time to cry just a little bit and be stranded in the middle of nowhere....
We leave Christmas No. 2 to meat Christmas No. 3.....and all hell breaks loose with just 15 km - 9.32 miles - until No. 3....car dies for a little while....I try to mend it just to get back home...
We announce Christmas No. 3 that we will miss it for the year - I am sorry babe, really sorry - and drive straight back towards home - not at home, just towards!!!
When in doubt, check the engine oil quantity - you do that once in a while - the engine died, we were left outside the skirts of Bucharest, called up a Merc to tow us, just to make a big entrance in the neighborhood :)
We, tired - the parents, happy - the dog, thankful for not being in the car - the car, dead and for sale for 800 euro, VAT included :))
How were your 2018 Christmases?
