After the antics of the night before, we were surprised to wake up with only minor hangovers and ready to hit the road back to Knoxville. The drive back was largely uneventful, save for the obligatory stop at Subway (though some of us were forced to opt for Maccas due to Subway overload), some real talk, and a thorough recount of the previous night’s events.
Once we got back to Knoxville we made a detour to Walmart for some last minute Christmas shopping. Once we managed to find everyone (which was no small task) we made it back to Dana;s to wrap presents, call home to Australia and prepare ourselves for the massive Christmas Eve feast that was to follow.
Dinner did not disappoint with more ham, turkey, stuffing and mashed potato than even Starvin’ Marvin could ever want. After dinner we swapped all of our presents, including the Kris Kringle gifts that we had bought one another (the BB gun that Wonders bought for Cleland being the highlight – though bound to cause all sorts of problems), sung happy birthday and had cake for Kai’s birthday we headed out to a local Knoxville sports bar for a couple of cheeky drinks with Dana and his sister Juliette. However, there was not a great deal happening and turkey coma was starting to take hold so we soon headed home. Once there, we settled down in front of some high-quality Chuck Norris movies (Carl’s present from Cleland). Despite the excellent dialog, plausible plot and highly entertaining sound effects (Adam West ie retro batman would’ve been proud) we all eventually succumbed and most of the team didn’t make it to the end. All in all it was another great day and another huge thanks to Dana and his family for giving us such a super Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
