2019




‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, ‘cept the fellow penning this fine missive.  Welcome once more to the annual Coffey Family Christmas Letter!

Jeremy tired of life amongst the tiny, so he fled to Jotunhiem to live with the Frost Giants.  Not long after arriving, though, he remembered he hates the cold.  Deciding permanent chill and blue skin wasn’t for him, he left for Muspelhiem, to see how things were with Surtr and the Fire Giants.  But Jer isn’t fond of extreme heat, either.  So he just came home to wait for his final class to finish out his college degree.

To avoid the chaos her life had become, Mollie spent her time in search of The Land of Chrises.  To her delight, she actually found it.  Alas, though she wandered far and wide, there was nary a Hemsworth to be seen.  Nor an Evans, nor a Pratt, not even a Pine.  That would be sad enough, but she did find an Elliot and a Brown, and when she found a Christie at the beach she decided that was enough.  So she just came home to await the library move.

Paul found a time machine and decided to see what wonders the future held.  When he arrived, before he could see the robots or spaceships or other technological marvels he was rushed off for medical examination.  Apparently even in the far-flung future he’s a medical anomaly and they were hard-pressed to figure how he was still alive.  He figured if he was going to be poked and prodded in a hospital, he could do that back in his own time and have the benefit of visitors.  So he just came home to work his two jobs at Eastern.

Hayley journeyed to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to meet so many of her favorite heroes (and, let’s be honest, villains).  Unfortunately, when she arrived large parts of the world were devastated and just about any person she wanted to find was either dead or off-world.  She did the math and then realized that it would still be several years until they all came back.  So she just came home in time for a ridiculously early shift cashiering at Fred Meyers.

Here’s wishing happiness (and a bit of laughter) to you and yours this holiday season and into the next year!
