Merry Christmas

Christmas morning brought me to my usual perky self sooner than I had hoped. I’ve been on a fairly work-like sleep cycle (I have not slept in past 8:30 yet on my vacation) and ended up waking up at 6:30 this morning. I couldn’t manage to get back to sleep so I just got up and hung out on the couch playing with Photoshop. Eventually the family awoke and we got to the Christmas festivities.

My dad probably got the best gift of the family – the complete Far Side collection. It’s very fitting for someone with his personality. Among the other assorted gifts of note were 36 rolls of film for my sister on her trip to London, a CF card and Flash for my camera, My parents are actually digging on the website I bought them (I’ll be interested to see if they stay interested in it), and my mom received a number of bicycle related books.

After a very early dinner of our infamous beer-butt chicken we are all sitting around the house like beached whales getting ready for a peaceful nights slumber. I hope everyone out there who reads this had as wonderful a Christmas as we did.
