MERRY CHRISTMAS

And that it was. Besides stuffing myself silly with all the food my family likes to go overboard on, my mom, dad, aunt, and I went to a local Indian (or is it Native American?) reservation casino last night.

I had to borrow 60 bucks from my dad because I didn't have any cash. I only needed 40 to get me started. A good hour into being there, I paid back the extra 20. By the end of the night, my dad decided to join me on the craps table. I was the only one up by this point. I helped my dad recover some of his losses. I then paid back the other 40. We were winning. We were cheering. We were high-fiving.

When I colored up at the end of the night, I had 390 dollars. I completely cleared all this. I bought my family some hot dogs in celebration. (It was the least I could do and they insisted I do it.) I still walked out 380 bucks richer.
