Bonus Chapter | Merry Christmas!

                        Adam's perspective

December 24th 2018, whoops sorry, I mean “24th of December 2018”. Azalea is very particular about British word order, it makes me smile.

Well, British or not, Azalea is celebrating Christmas the American way this year. I made sure she celebrated Thanksgiving, too – because how can Christmas possibly happen without Thanksgiving? Seriously!

Of course, Azalea then had to lecture me about the whole reason why she doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving, the main reason being, she’s not American. Only Americans can celebrate Thanksgiving according to her.

But enough about Thanksgiving, today is about Christmas. It’s 11:45pm and I’m waiting for Santa. Joke! I’m actually watching the good ol’ Home Alone movies with Azalea… well… if she was even awake. She says she’s never watched them, so how is she supposed to know what happens if she’s asleep? She has no intention in watching Home Alone, ever, does she?

This is why women always win arguments, you manage to force them to do something, and then they’ll just win anyway by falling asleep or finding something super important to do.

I can’t even wake her up because that’s just cruel – plus she said she wouldn’t give me her Christmas present if I upset her this week.

God dammit why do I make these ridiculous bets with Azalea?

You know what? Why don’t I just wake her up? It’s not like she was being serious. I could probably just cast the whole thing off as banter and she’d understand. But what if she was being serious? You just can’t tell because her accent make you always take her seriously. Her sarcasm levels are so advanced I have to use 3 quarters of my brain capacity just working out whether I should laugh or not.

I can’t escape the fact that maybe she just thinks I’m stupid. She’s never said it to my face so… maybe I should wake her up?

Wake her up, Adam. Do it. No don’t do it, unless you really wanna p**s her off. Azalea likes her beauty sleep, you know this Adam. Just wake her up, she won’t mind; it’s Christmas for Christ’s sake! She can’t get mad at you at this time of year.

All this confusion has made me forget which country I’m in. Oh yeah, America. Washington, right? That means it was Christmas 8 hours ago in England. Oh man that really sucks.

Azalea even wished me a Merry Christmas at 4 o’clock today, because it was Christmas in England. Yeah that was really weird.

It was just like: 4pm, “Merry Christmas, Adam.”

I was like: What?

And she just said, “Timezones.”

I didn’t quite know what to say, so I just smiled. Hope that wasn’t too awkward.

It’s snowing right now, by the way. Just thought you’d like to know. I remember last year when we celebrated Christmas in England, Mitch and Jerome were round and they were just pranking each other.

Mitch was having his powernap and Jerome went and got some snow from outside, then he got out his phone and started filming. He walked up to Mitch and just yelled, “MERRY CHRISTMAS MITCH!” and threw the snow at him. It was pretty funny I’ll admit.

Hmm… I just got a d**k-move idea…

5 minutes to 12. Perfect.

I silently get up off the couch and walk out the house onto the basketball court. Phone in hand, I start recording and gather some snow.
