WATTYS LONG LIST. He's got three polyamorous, pole dancing moms and his world is the stuff of which teen boy fantasies are made. But when he falls for a feisty cancer patient who is about to die, he truly learns how to live.
All roads seem to lead back to Wyatt--and JJ. Weaving together deftly now, all the loose ends. So enjoy the Christmas cheer. But don't get too comfy. Detours and sharp curves ahead. Oh, and the Santa Baby song? Dedicated to JJ, of course. Couldn't help myself...
"Oh, my God, he won again!" Kylie griped, tossing a domino at Brian.
"I own this game," he told her, helping everyone at the game table shove all the dominoes around to mix them up again.
That was about all the exercise we could handle by then. We were tryptophaned out from eating all this incredible Joie food nonstop since morning. She was on fire that day, making all these recipes she'd been saving all year to try out on us.
And having new family to show off for just put her in overdrive. It felt like she was coming out of that kitchen every hour on the hour with a tray of cocktails in one hand, a tray full of munchies in the other and some outrageous creation on her head.
Like deely boppers made out of Christmas ornaments—one red, one green—and a mistletoe "fascinator" topped with two very real sparklers that we thought were going to set her hair and all the table decorations on fire.

Well, she's not called "Joie DiVivre" for nothing.
And then...dinner. No kidding, we had dinner, too. A real down home one, not one of those foodie deals, with three spears of white asparagus, a smear of some kind of puree and a teeny weeny, damned near raw lamb chop that looked like it was cooked in an Easy Bake Oven or something. In the middle of a big ass plate that only emphasizes the fraud being perpetrated.
That day, we got big old piles of beef and turkey and ham—yes, all three--with heaps of soul sides that Aisha made, like mac and cheese and collards and yams. In fact, Aisha even made the famous "green slime" that all the church ladies make and that I have to have.
I've never known what it's really called, but it's lime Jell-O mixed with sour cream, whipped topping and a whole bunch of pineapple and nuts and whatnot. Some of them make a mold, others just put a huge bowl on the table.
