So here's my tribute to all the holidays of the world, but mostly Christmas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR_8kmOmxyk).

May you all have a wonderful Christmas firmly ensconced indoors. Even you Jews, Pagans, Muslims, atheists, Mithrists and zoroastrians.

I'm taking advantage of the day tomorrow to drive about 700 miles so if I see even one other person out on the road, let alone anything resembling traffic, I am going to flunk the whole world on Christmas spirit (nobody expects me to have any) and cancel next year's event.

We've got to drive to Hemet and then to Mission Viejo. fun fun fun. Still - it's nice to see the fam-damily!

Merry Christmas and Happy whatever-you-personally-celebrate to everyone here! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :coffee:

Glen Ivy is doing a promo through today where you can get a $100 gift card for $75 (it runs through today). I went and purchased one for Susan last night (they have a "Day Spa" at the Brea Mall which is right around the corner from us). After purchasing it, I was walking through the mall and looking at their menu and realizing that $100 doesn't purchase all that much. So I went back to get another card.

Since I was just going to add to the existing card, the girl allowed me to apply the $100 gift card towards the purchase of a $200 gift card and just paying the $50 difference (I didn't ask for it and she wasn't supposed to do it). Which means that I netted getting $200 worth of gift card for only $125 net.

Sweet!

I'm looking forward to the 4 days free from the office.

I hope that NA the dogwatcher/walker/feeder gets to stay home some time and enjoy a little piece with her brood, and €, too. At least before the dancing starts.

Om Shanti Om to one and all!

We're in the midst of yet another snowstorm and the roads are beyond an absolute mess. (Our mayor declared a state of emergency today). We were supposed to have my family over tonight, but everyone is snowed in. It's going to be one of our quieter Christmas's, but we've lots of food, presents, alcohol and other necessities- and I have the next few days off.:D

Merry Holidays, everyone!

I hear you, wb! We're gearing up for more snow before it warms up over the weekend, and the family Christmas events have been postponed until Saturday, moving my Boxing Day brunch to Sunday. The zoo's been closed and I haven't been to work since Friday, and I'm getting a bit stir crazy. I did get to see some friends in "Christmas Carol" at PCS last night.

Any way, Happy Holidays to all - make it what you will!

Just kicked the kid to bed, and loaded all the stockings. The animals were especially interested when I was loading theirs- I really think they know they get treats. Mellie is doing her level best to look as pathetic as possible, all the while throwing glances over her shoulder at the fridge. She knows there is ham in there, and she knows I'll break down.

I am still of the mind that it does not feel like Christmas. I hope everyone has a great day, no matter how you celebrate.

I just finished making my annual goodie plates to pass out to close friends and family. I have enough left over in case I get sneak attacked by a random gift giver.

Now I get to finish getting ready to go get The Boy and head to the Old People's house for breakfast!!

I was wondering what woke me up at 4:40 this morning. Great pic!

Our Christmas at home has been wonderful. Sadly, we have to go have Christmas with my wife's to moron brothers and their families now. I do this only for my wonderful parents-in-law, whom I love dearly, because I seriously cannot stand them and their manipulation, drama, and brattiness.

Hard to believe my wonderful wife and her borthers were raised by the same people.

Sigh.

Sorry to be a bummer on Christmas...I've just had my fill of them.

Uhm....yeah....what Gn2 said. Santa's real busy this year- the terrible economy means he's got twice as many toys to deliver, so he put out the word that he needed help from us lazy-ass parents.

Santa was very good to me this year. I gots a new Smartphone- the Omnia 1910. It rocks.:D

(I also got new Cephalon pots and pans, and an electric griddle that I already prepared copious amounts of bacon on. Happy girl here.)

Merry Christmas, everyone.:cheers:

Sometimes the most touching thing can come in a very small package. I got many nice things this Christmas (Wii, a new keyboard, a podcasting kit, etc) but the one gift that touched my heart most was stuffed in my stocking.

One of my favorite Disney movies growing up as a Kid was Pollyanna. If you've seen the movie do you remember the prism? I got an ornament just like it. Yes I shed a tear. I hope this season you can be moved by one of the small, but wonderful joys in life!

For Christmas this year, we embarked on a snow-to-surf expedition. First up, a drive up to Los Padres National Forest, where it was snowing:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/ethelberga/Christmas%2008/christmas08002.jpg

We tried to build a snowman, but he's fallen and can't get up:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/ethelberga/Christmas%2008/christmas08007.jpg

Getting off the mountain was tricky, as the drivers in front of us were completely freaked about the trace amount of accumulation on the roadway and kept us to a brisk 5 mph the rest of the way out of the woods. We stopped partway down to get another photo:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/ethelberga/Christmas%2008/christmas08014.jpg

Once we got back to the highway, we headed south and stopped in Santa Monica to walk down to the beach and watch the sunset:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/ethelberga/Christmas%2008/christmas08029.jpg

It's not a good photo, but here's the proof that we made it to the beach:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/ethelberga/Christmas%2008/christmas08022.jpg

And here's the official "touching the ocean" spot:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/ethelberga/Christmas%2008/christmas08037.jpg

Most important - we had fun. Don't we look happy?

I got some kind of virus, a bad back, and a Nintendo DS for Christmas. May I just say that I LOVE the DS! (The other stuff kind of sucks.) I can't wait for the Kingdom Hearts DS game to come out. Meanwhile, I've got Zelda to keep me busy. SO cool. (flippyshark's inner 12 year old does a quick happy dance.)
