MY CHRISTMAS '09 - MANHATTAN PREPSTER

2009-12-25T19:58:00.000-08:00

THIS YEAR...

I'm Spending Christmas with family at my aunt's house in Short Hills, New Jersey! You may have heard of Short Hills.... Home of the Labels-of-Love Short Hills Mall filled wall to wall with Saks, Tiffany, Cartier, Gucci, Fendi, Dolce, Bloomies, Neimen, Juicy, . It's been a warm, comfy, happy, christmas-eeey two days filled with phone.

Phone calls from relatives, wine, and family. My Cousins who we are very close with actually stayed overnight at our house on Christmas eve. Last night, my cousin and I were up until 6am. He helped me re-wire the speakers, HDTV, stereos, surround sound, video game consoldes, Blu-Rays, laptops, computers, Blu-tooths, external harddrives...etc.... in my living room.

(Yeah, I know. I totally raided Best Buy electronics beginning with that 50 inch television a few weeks back!)

Today, he and I swapped gifts and we got each other the same, exact thing -- an Amazon Gift Card. And the gift card was for the same exact amount $50. Is that funny or what? I got a giant popcorn maker from mom...An interesting gift. And Lisa got me an Amazon Gift Card, too! I plan on buying all new types of accessories for my new kindle reader --- its such the holiday gift of the moment.

And I got her a giant buffet stand. (It was between that and an engraved spatula, the only other item in the world she doesn't yet own or need...) Then we headed over to our relatives house for christmas dinner later in the day...Nothing too,too interesting like last year! No last year takes the cake for the most bizzare Christmas ever.

You know that song, Grandma just Got Runover by a Reindeer????

Last year, we were driving on the insterstate highway --- when suddenly, a DEER came charging at us from out of the blue!!!!!!!!! Just like the song. We missed collision by inches. Literally inches!!!

TTYL! & KIT! (leave comments, K??)

MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY PARTIES

HAMPTONS FRAT PARTIES

This year, I'm not Christmas at some wild required-to-attend Hampton's Party at the Managing Director's house where my very attractive, older female boss is totally getting it on with one of my co-workers right in front of everyone and I already know it will be the talk of tomorrow among the junior level ibankers... at the office, an after lunch trip to Brooks Brothers, or at Lotus or Bungalow or Webster Hall or whereever the person who picked decided...

BICYCLE BOY HOLIDAY PARTIES

I'm not spending Christmas getting drunk and happy or whimsical with the khaki clad plimpton-nexts, the young and preppy editors at the Paris Review

SEX AND THE CITY - CROWD PARTIES

Sipping on godiva flavored grand marnier with a beauty editor at, say, a Conde Naste magazine on the Upper East...where a naked Elle McPherson is about to hit the runway completely covered in decadent chocolate with edible gold trimming...and the new contestants on the upcoming season of america's next top model are about to walk the runway for the first time and afterwards, Alaine Ducasse will be mingling with guests tasting his amazing and special chocolate decadance prior to the launch of his new book...

SOCIALITE PARTY
Nor am I having mimosa's and omelletes - a first time at Elaines! - where Helen Gurly Brown (int'l editor exec of Cosmo who once called me her MNBF, thus the coinage of the phrase MNBF...) or someone familiar in the corner of my eye is whispering to another person and I can't wait to read about all the people I met there in the NY Social Diary.

SIS'S UPPER EAST SIDE PARTIES - (Always the best)

My sister's very rare, very ritzy, very well thought out, perfect as a picture Upper East side Christmas bashes where everybody is having so much fun and completely gone and done by the end of the night, aunts, uncles, cousins and all -- are dancing like Uma Thurman and John Travolta did in Pulp Fiction --- and on tape. I think everyone consumed an average of and three quarters a bottle of wine at her last Christmas party! And the feeling of family togetherness is nothing short than perfect.

A GOSSIP COLUMNIST PARTY
Nor am I at one of Michael Mustow's haunts of the evening, one of 12 society parties he's hitting this night, definitely someplace swank yet old fashioned traditional are chatting amid a smittering of random celebrities, and diamond clad couples, and a few photographers from the NY post or Daily News are lingering in the background.

All the Indiana Jones Information You Need is Here on the Wiki

Indiana Jones is packing movie theaters with fans. "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' made 101 million dollars, with another 25 million expected Monday. That would make it the second highest memorial weekend opening of all time.

Only last year's Pirates of the Carribean sequel had a higher opening.

Finishing second, The Chronicle of Narnia: Prince Casplan (23 million) Disney expects the movie to continue to perform as schools let out the next couple weeks.

Iron Man finished third with 20 million, bringing its total to more than two hundred fifty two million

A Blast from the Past. As the tv season wraps up and the ratings reports are delved out, I noticed an interesting find from eonlines tv ratings report Losing Grey Matter

# For laughs and tears, here are the numbers from NBC's Thursday comedy lineup from 10 years ago: Friends (24 million), Union Square (19.9 million), Seinfeld (34.1 million) and Veronica's Closet (24.4 million).
# And here are the numbers from NBC's Thursday comedy lineup this past season: My Name Is Earl (6.9 million), 30 Rock (6 million), The Office (7.2 million) and Scrubs (5.8 million).
# A decade ago, Union Square got canceled because its audience of nearly 20 million just wasn't good enough. This year, Scrubs got canceled, and then picked up by ABC because its devoted audience of not quite 6 million seemed promising enough.

Then I came across this article. Click on it to go to the story. (sigh) I miss "Friends"
