Christmas in the Caribbean

That goes with this song:

I like Jimmy Buffett. Luckily, so do the people of Key West, which is where I am spending Christmas morning.

And here’s a rooster laying in poinsettias:

And a chicken family:

I like that we’re still in the US so that I could call my family while they were opening the presents I sent 🙂

It doesn’t really feel like the holidays though…any of the holidays.

I mean, the ship has been decorated all month,

and we had to do a stupid “Holiday Show” that was the bane of the techs’ existence because of the retardedly heavy set piece (I probably mentioned before that it’s a Christmas show with the Dreidel song in it…),

and we lit the Menorah,

and we even had a little tree in our room!

But it’s just not the same without family and Frank…

Also, this is how I got power to my computer for this post:

My friends and I got up wicked early this morning to eat breakfast. We shouldn’t have bothered…it was sub-par. And then we exchanged presents around our little tree that we took from the desk and put on the floor. I got a wide variety of gifts, from candy to perfume (POWERPUFF GIRLS 10TH ANNIVERSARY AND IT SMELLS AWESOME)

to some things I’d rather not share…

The cast and techs have to work from 6pm to 10 pm…which is exactly the times that the staff mess hall is open… So room service brings up food for us on show nights…

This was our Christmas dinner:

Luckily, this was our Christmas dessert:

And one of our dancers serenaded us with a toy piano book:

Everyone has liked my gifts so far at home…but I really miss everyone.

Happy Christmas.
