Fellow Humes (Except Scott), and Hume Cousins:
Since we, most thankfully, will not have to endure Christmas squeezing into Scotty's little barn, I invite you to my humble abode for dinner on Christmas Eve around 4:00pm. Dinner served at 6:00pm. I'll make a main dish and a casserole of some kind you just throw shit in a casserole dish for that kind of thing and throw it in the oven, right?, it's up to you to bring everything else except for booze. Feel free to bring your significant others. Owen, do ask your parents to join us, please. Scotty will be absent from this meal, by the way, since he felt the need to abandon you all for Christmas. He's so sweet, isn't he? I think she’s leaving town for a wedding, but I guess I should text June and see what she’s doing for Xmas. I think instead I’ll just assume it’s the wedding bit, and if she says something to me, I’ll have an excuse. Perfect.
