Confession: Of my favorite Christmas movies ever, I’d say A Muppet Family Christmas (1987 TV special) is probably #3.
The Muppets show up at Fozzie’s mom’s farmhouse; make food; make a mess; there are fights and new comedy partners; put on a concert, a home-movie AND a play; Miss Piggy has a photo shoot, goes Christmas shopping AND helps push a taxi out of the snowbank; and somehow they squeeze in the whole cast of Sesame Street AND Fraggle Rock all in about half an hour.
Somehow, that reminds me of Christmas day at Andrew’s parents’ house.
Last year I had to break our Christmas day pics into something like 7 parts? Ridiculous. This year was a little more restrained, but still a crazy mishmash of all kinds of things.
It was awesome.
Andrew and I headed up to Santa Clarita early-ish to make sure we were there in time for Julie’s breakfast casserole – a morning miracle of egg, sausage, gravy-ish and cheese.
Then Andrew and I had the fun of giving Hazel her Christmas present – a sock.
Just one sock. An old sock of mine that had a hole in it.
We went over to my aunt and uncle’s house – where my cousin showed off her most favorite Christmas gift:
Andrew and I made these mustaches as Christmas gifts for all our family …. they turned out pretty well ….. (I’ll do a longer specific DIY post about them soon)
We both got some fun gifts. I got theater tickets, Andrew got shark fin salt and pepper shakers….
games
I made Andrew’s dad a calendar of photos of his dog …. .. and he cried !! It was the cutest thing. …. My new goal is to see if I can make Andy cry each Christmas….
SO relaxing. So low-key.
How was YOUR Christmas day?

I didn’t realize that you could get Uncle Ted to pose for a picture if you just gave him a fake mustache.
Sweet pictures.
