That same old feeling

There's one group of friends that we always try to have a Christmas gathering with every year, barring last year as we were out of town. The holiday is a great excuse to come together for a leisurely sit-around and banter into the night till mid-morning. Ah, that same old wonderful feeling.

Of course it's much easier on my old bones when it's held at my own place so that I don't have to drive home later. :)

As luck would have it though, the next day I had that same old uncomfortable feeling as I'd been having the whole week past - stomach upset relapse. Probably shouldn't have braved the questionably-fresh seafood at the Christmas buffet.
