If you don’t have any large bowls in your bachelor pad kitchen, you will be forced to serve eggnog in a cooking pot and Chex Mix in Tupperware containers intended for covering cakes.
Don’t be deceived. “Pre-Cooked” doesn’t mean the same thing as “fast.” The instructions on this ham said it would take ninety minutes to heat. Unfortunately, we didn’t read said instructions until after the guests arrived. We were, however, able to beat the system by peeling off and heating a few slices at the time.
If you invite your brother Matthew, expect that he will try to persuade other guests to take photos with him in cheesy poses not seen since high school prom.
Other than last week’s ugly sweater party, this is the only time all year when you are allowed to wear this vest.

Ha, yeah…cause my holidays are always fun. I have that family that has a mix of everything. People drink to much, I’m the youngest there, some group of people are gonna get in a fight, grandma is gonna get upset, there’s gonna be way too much food…but at the end of the day we’ll all gather around the Christmas tree, and I just wish I could live in that moment forever. Even though not every family–or every one–is perfect, that’s okay. I’ve just learned to see past imperfections. (can’t remember who said it? brain dead.)
Holidays are wished with a happy word, but dreamt with an unspeakable one. (that would be me! hehe)

It is funny to me that you don’t have any bowls large enough but DO happen to have a tupperware cake coverer… umm, what?

Yeah, well…this won’t make any sense, but the tupperware cake cover is something I bought during my salad phase last year. I needed something large to mix all my ingredients in.
