Xmas plans and such

So, what are your (Jack and Eddie) plans for anything on or around Xmas? Aka Xmas day itself and/or any days right before or after?

Of course, on the holiday itself, I worry that my neighbors who are behaviorally awful may be celebrating with their friends and family, thus, ESPECIALLY loud, obnoxious and inconsiderate (I know, still sounds pretty much like every other normal day with them. Sigh.) So, I may go to the beach again (there were a lot of -- but not too many -- people there on Thanksgiving! Made it kinda fun).

And then, I also want to make sure I give you each time with your kids and family/friends. I'm guessing, at the very least, you two would have plans with them in Xmas day proper. I seem to keep hearing from you, Eddie, that you and your family are either "not holiday people in the normal way" and don't really celebrate these days in the fall and winter OR that the kids "go to relatives during this time and are not as focused on hanging out with Dad, whom they see regularly." I'm not sure if this is at all true or not, so I've just tried to air on the side of caution to be respectful to you and your family, Ed, and offer you to have time with your kids and family, especially on Xmas day, itself. Jack, I'm not quite sure what I'm hearing regarding you and your kids/family - it keeps coming through muddled. And yet, for some reason, I got the distinct feeling you were going to be available on Thanksgiving Day, which is why I took a chance and offered for you to psychically come with me to the beach that day. I'm so sorry it didn't go as I hoped. I really wanted to spend it with you and/or with you and Eddie, if he was free, on the beach. :)

I worry you guys found our Thanksgiving week so motley and draining. I, myself, had a GREAT time on the days the five of us synched together and enjoyed our great vegetarian/vegan spread at the "Xmas tree patch." I wish Thanksgiving Day itself had gone better though. I hoped to spend more time at the beach with you both. It was nice and chilly there and so cool to walk along on the sand in the raining storm, communing with the seagulls at night.

If you do wanna try to have a Xmas moment or two,  you're welcome to share the Xmas question with Paul via some five-senses form of communication, if you think he would be open to arranging some Xmas/holiday time together. I can also try to see if I can connect with Shelby about it, too.

On Christmas Eve, I always go to Midnight Mass at the 

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. The Archbishop Gomez says the mass in English and Spanish. It's held at the gorgeous cathedral for the archdiocese of Los Angeles (a few blocks from the Rosslyn), which (you might be interested to know, Jack, is the biggest archdiocese in the whole country, at 5 million participants!)

I think we tapped Eddie in last year and I should be able to take some amount of photographs and video before the mass begins, if you're interested and able to psychically tap into it with me in real time. And, even if you're not, I may upload photos/videos anyway. :)
