If it isn't, it's going to be awfully close...
Rho and I decided in early November that we weren't going to spend the holidays with her family this year. We've done so the last 2 years in a row, and quite frankly, I just wanted to keep it low-key this year. Presents are already bought and given, Xmas tree is up, I took Friday off to have a nice 4-day weekend, we have $$$ for the first time in 4 years...life is good.
Rho suggested that we go out for dinner on Xmas Day...I suspect she just wasn't up for cooking a big Xmas dinner after cooking a big Thanksgiving feast. Then, it hit me...like a bolt of lightning...
We should go to Atlantic City...
Oh fuck yeah! Why not? There's no reason to hang out here at the crib...presents are already bought and given, I took Friday off...you get the idea.
And the best part--it's cheap to go on Xmas Day! $79.95 for a night at the Tropicana. There are actually even cheaper deals, but what the hell...once we get there, we won't have to leave at all. And we won't spend a lot of dough, b/c we're not like that.
(I would have preferred to go to the Borgata...but the hotel is expensive as fuck...and all booked up.)
So, we shall eat, drink, spend and be merry...and maybe we'll win a nice chunk of change in the process.
Whoohoo!
