2012: Last Year on Earth? Or Beginning of a Really Long Zombie Apocalypse?

If you have no idea to what I'm referring, Minions, there are people who've predicted that the world will end at the end of 2012. (Of course, lots of people have predicted when the world will end – it's apparently supposed to end every moment of every second of every day, because of all sorts of reasons, but I really don't think any of their predictions have an ounce of truth in them.) But what if it won't end? What if 2012 signifies the beginning of a new era? One filled with happiness, good will, and of course…zombies?

And bacon, of course. Can't forget that.

Anyhoo, this post really has nothing at all to do with the end of the world. I was just musing about random things. Which your Auntie Heather tends to do.

This post is actually about How I Spent My Christmas Vacation. First off, it was awesome. The fam (Paul, Jacob, The Girl, and I) hopped on a plane (okay, so we walked – the TSA doesn't take kindly to hopping onto planes) and headed to Michigan, so we could hang out with our extended family (who are just as awesome as we are – probably more). We hung out, opened pressies, ate more food than was humanly possible, and hugged so much that our eyes almost imploded! It was pretty epic. There was a horse drawn carriage ride, a gorgeous snowstorm, meeting up with a Minion who asked me to sign her book and take a pic with her, and lots of sister time for me and my fabulous sis, Dawn (who you might know from Absolute Forest of Words). All in all, a great holiday break.

Of course, the fun's not over for Auntie Heather. See, I'm blogging this from 32,000 feet in the air. I'm still on that plane home, and when we get there, Santa will come to our house. SQUEE!!!!!!

So…good times. I just hope that 2012 isn't the end of the world. Now that would put a damper on next Christmas, for sure.

Better stock up on bacon, either way.
