Christmas this year has been fun and had things worthwhile to tell.
My mom is a nurse, so it’s very common that we don’t do the ‘big family’ Christmas in the 25th. It’s made my parents very cool about it, so they tell me brothers, “go do your family thing and see the in-laws, and we’ll just all meet here sometime separately.”
It’s pretty cool.
Often that mean I just hang out with my dad while my mom works.
Today he had work to do, and I always have things to do, so I just met him at his office at the airport. I haven’t seen ‘behind the scenes’ at the airport for 15 years, so I went on a really cool tour.
Around 1:30 we left for lunch. We went to a Chinese place recommended by a newspaper article about places for lunch on Christmas Day. The line was out the door! After about 5 minutes, we decided to leave.
When we pulled out, there was a flyer under the windshield wipers. My dad turned on the wipers, and when it flew away, we noticed it was actually a dollar bill.
“Should we get it?”
“It’s free money.”
So we turned around, and picked it up. As we drove past the corner of 14th and 4th to leave, the person who was putting bills on cars just threw a wad of money into the air.
I got out and just started picking up money with the two other guys who were there.
We then drove off through Dinkytown. All the Chinese places looked too commercial and cheap, but then we found one called Legendary Spice. It was amazing!
It’s been a great Christmas so far. Merry Christmas everyone!
