(Recorded) Live: CHRIStmas Pics 2007

Quelle surprise! Chris on the Internet, CHRIStmas night at the B.'s house, Virginia Beach.

You are looking at what was intended to have been the back [read: second-tier ornaments] of the B. family CHRIStmas tree, rumored to be dry and downright cumbersome from the time of purchase. Upon erection, the tree stand began to leak water, leaving a brown stain on the carpet, forcing the B. family to relocate the tree to the other side of the room and reconstruct a more effective deterrent against leakage, which resulted in her aforementioned "repositioning." To be frank, a real pisser. Even more painful for the family was the tree's ultimate fate, which let's just say included a saw and several trash bags; a B. holiday first and travesty at once. When asked about 2007's CHRIStmas tree Chris's mother-in-law and renowned CHRIStmas enthusiast Pam B. tearfully replied, "No comment."

Father of CW's Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, U.S., and more importantly, Chris's Father-in-Law, Bob B. mans the grill on CHRIStmas Eve, proudly sporting his Jimi Hendrix apron [may he rest in peace].

Chris's sister-in-law and fellow toast-and-seedless-strawberry-jam-lover Mer B. with boyfriend, new CW loyal and FOC hopeful Chris M. Yes, you read that right: CHRIS ... M. We cornered him for an exclusive on CHRIStmas night, asking him how it felt to share the name "Chris" with the big guy. While we don't care much for rhetorical answers here at CW, we wholeheartedly respect and understand his: "What do you think? Those who can, do. Those who can't bear the namesake."

Chris dons his new construction-site-certified Redskins hard hat. Yes, he and his brothers wore those to today's game against the Cowgirls [which they just won 27-6, Go Skins!]

Editor's Note: Here at CW, we believe that CHRIStmas is not a day, but rather a season, one that lasts until New Year's Day in fact. And it is that logic to which we point when we rationalize the posting of CHRIStmas pics on the 29th of December. We wish we could blame something other that sloth, gluttony and general merrymaking, but alas we cannot. In closing, our hard-working and underpaid staff wish to remind you that the CW community is one of forgiveness and tolerance; and also wish you a safe, healthy and happy new year!
