I'll Be Home For Christmas

Tomorrow, I'm flying back home for Christmas, so I won't be posting until I return to Chicago.

No posting mainly because I want to spend as much time as I can with my family while I'm in Tennessee, but also because there aren't many people who own personal computers in my family.

My kinfolk get confused on escalators, so this is probably for the best.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this picture of me and my brother on the lap of what looks to be an albino Santa. An albino Santa! In Tennessee? Who knew?

Jeff looks either hungry, confused or moments away from peeing on Santa's leg- - or all three - - and I look like the poster child for "Future Fags of America"

I'm sure I labored over EXACTLY what to wear for my photoshoot with Mr. Claus and my smile just screams baby beauty pageant, doesn't it?

How did my parents not know?

Then again, my brother is also gay, so apparently the clothes don't make the fag.

All that aside, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

P.S. A special thanks to Rus Rainear for taking over my roles in Lyle while I'm home for Christmas. Rus is the best. And the funniest.

He gave me a card at our opening performance that simply said...

"Margo,

Break a leg. Really.

Love, Eve."

Keep an eye on Princess Fire and Music while I'm away. Me, an old kazoo with some sparklers.

Merry Christmas to you and your family :) You know, I had a sweater vest in '74 that was the exact same pattern of Jeff's shirt in that photo! Must have been a popular fabric ;)

Love you much!!!

I found yet another great "Iron Man" theme in your blog, from a few months ago. I just now posted a few Iron Man theme songs in my blog, before I found yours.

Polt, Catty Bitch, Rick, Dirk, searabbit, java, valyna, wizened wizard, just me, mark in de - Thanks for the well wishes. I had a wonderful time with my family over the holiday and I promise to be posting as soon as possible! Hope you all had a safe and joyous holiday.

The Joy - Well, no matter how big you are, there's always someone bigger, so if someone IS bigger, I'll gladly be "lil Stevie" for them. Actually, I'd probably like that! Hope you had a Merry Christmas.

dmarks - Well, I can't take credit for the Iron Man theme that I posted, but I do love it. I'll check out the ones you've posted asap. Thanks for the comment.
