Fake Christmas, number 2

My family celebrated Christmas on December 1st. Not to be outdone, Ritchie's family had Fake Christmas on December 15th. Unfortunately, I'd decided to celebrate Fake Christmas Eve by drinking wine and dancing (see below) and was not in top form. As the kids ran around and the adults engaged in distinguished English conversation, I moaned on the couch and stared at the TV. After downing tea and shunning all offers of alcoholic beverages, I retired to bed a 3 p.m. only to wake up after everyone had gone home. Merry Fake Christmas, indeed.
