Well we've arrived here in LA and I am currently sitting on my uncle's couch between my mom and my cousin, Maggie, 13. My other cousin, Neville, 7, runs around like a monkey on acid. Unlike the other 7 year olds, his energy is not borne out of holiday sugar. In fact, as far as I can tell he does not eat anything. My grandmother sits drinking a small glass of Baileys confusing Tapas bars with topless bars and Tina Fey with Rachel Ray. My dad sits in a chair in the corner trying very hard to curtail his snarky comments-- somewhat unsuccessfully. And my uncle who's house we've unapologetically invaded runs around trying to salvage the damage Neville has begun to inflict on this posh Los Angeles home. The rest of my family sits around the living room dodging the whirling acid monkey. The LA Christmas Family Adventure has officially begun.
