Santa needs to keep warm at the North Pole

HOOORAY! It's Christmas Break! And for fuck's sake, this week I've been so tired I've had to nap almost every day, along with going to bed early and sleeping in. I can't wait to do it for ten days straight. Amazingly, I've got something to do just about every day of break:
-Sat 12/23: Go to my parents' house, do laundry and use sewing machine to fix pants and sew patches onto stuff.
-Sun 12/24: Pick my aunt Parvin and my grandmother up at Midway and go to my parents' to celebrate Parvin's birthday (and try to keep from going to church with my mom).
-Mon 12/25: X-mas! Presents! Fancy dinner!
-Tues 12/26: My mom got tix to All Night Strut for the family.
-Wed 12/27: Screw the Midwest Ska Fest, but I'll go hang out at SmartBar post-show for Chuck to spin.
-Thurs 12/28: I spin Delilah's monthly Ska Night. It actually looks like people will be turning out this time. (Fingers crossed)
-Fri 12/29: Chicago Critical Mass! The Return of the Santa Suit!
-Sat 12/30: (frown) just WNUR....
-Sun 12/31: Smoking Popes/Alkaline Trio at the Metro for New Year's Eve.
-Mon 1/1: Chicago Cycling Club Weather Be Damned Ride!
-Tues 1/2: Back to school....
Tonight I went down to Pilsen to meet up for the Circular Mass, but no one showed up. Oh, and I was wearing the Santa suit again. So I hung out at Tenochtitlan Plaze for 15 minutes waiting for people, then decided I might as well head up to Binny's and get some good beer for the Holiday. I plan to bring a few bottles of corked ale for dinner with the family. People get a good kick out of the Santa suit. I told the cashier at Binny's that Santa needs to keep warm at the North Pole. Next year I'm going to buy a beard, too.

I came home and downed a bottle of Young's Double Chocolate Stout while I browsed blogs. My internet connection is getting fucked up, and I'm getting hungry. I'm going to eat something and then think about heading up to Schubas for the Clash Tribute show (or at least the ride up there if it's sold out).
