As fate would have it, I did in fact wish The Wedding Date “Happy Birthday” instead of “Merry Christmas.”  It’s not that I don’t know the different between “Feliz Navidad” and “Feliz Cumpleaños”—I do— it’s just that I was in a rush and I always write “Happy Birthday” in Spanish on Facebook so when I start to write “Feliz” the word “Cumpleaños” just follows automatically.

The best part is that his entire family spent the holiday at his place, which means everyone saw the card, including his Spanish-speaking parents.

Awesome.

At any rate, Santa was very good to me this year and he brought the entire Richter clan matching hats, gloves and socks.  Naturally, we decided to do a photo shoot:

Me and Tech Support

Are we cool or what?

Matching Socks! Although I'd been wearing mine barefoot all morning and somehow got tape stuck on mine.

The one where my brother tries to knock me off the stoop...

The mixologist at work...

The Martini Shaker Dance

It wouldn't be Christmas without the Onion Volcano...

See you tomorrow!  And yes: the dating talk will resume first thing Tuesday morning.
