We can't tell is Santa's name is Bob or Jack. Chris thinks it's Bob because he was discomBOBulated. I think it's Jack.

Good day.

Drove up to SF and had dim sum in Chinatown and then found out that Dreamgirls was pretty much sold out all day at the Metreon so drove home and wached it at our local multiplex (I was hoping to double feature it with Children of Men across the street, but it wasn't to be).

In the end ended up driving about 70 miles in order to watch the movie five miles from home but it was a very pleasant day. It was a good movie weekend which seems sufficient justification to have co-opted the date from the Mithraists. Stupid Mithraists.

I'm dying to see Children of Men, but it didn't seem very Christmassy. Instead, after hugely fun family brunch of tons of food, laughter and CranMosa's, we saw Night at the Museum at the Grove. It was cuter than I expected, and a perfect piece of Christmas fluff.

The Grove, for those who don't know, is practically a recreation of Main Street, U.S.A., and almost as Christmassy. It was bizarre because, with absolutely no stores open, this mall was insanely busy. But there's the towering tree and pretty lights and snow! And it's L.A.'s busiest movie theater's busiest night of the year.

The other two nights of the weekend were filled with Disneyland Christmassy. And last weekend's combination of Hanukah Party, Christmas Party and Dickensian Christmas concert all made for a very satisfying and quite jolly yuletide season.

God Bless Us, Every One.

Living Room Lady wins the bet. Bob can no longer fit into the Santa suit...

I love Christmas.

After seeing the gifts given and my happy children and beautiful wife, though I did not get the one thing I truly wanted (a 2007 red convertable mustang - I can dream, eh?), I realize more than ever what a blessed man I am to have such an incredible family who loves me and I would lay my life down for without a thought. Is there any better gift than having that in your life every day?

I was clearing dishes after Christmas Eve dinner at my inlaws (wonderful people), and there, in order, with their backs to me, were my mother in law rinsing, my wife putting dishes in the dishwasher, and my 12 year old and 5 year old daughters drying things that couldn't go in the dishwasher. Three generations and the four most important women to me in the world standing next to each other, just being, oblivious to the fact that I was staring at them in wonder and amazement, asking the good Lord above what I had ever done to deserve such a life as I have, holding back a few slow rolling tears so as to not draw attention to myself and spoil perhaps the most perfect moment in time I could ever remember.

I love Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope Santa was good to you (no matter who or what your Santa happens to be).

Murry Christmassss!!!

Had a great dinner, spent it with family, and the day was very grand. I hope all of you had a great Christmas as well.

Hey GD, that corn dog looks happy to see you! Or is it a Horn Dog!!

If I look closely I can see both male and female parts. Or is it jus too much Christmas Spirits, I dunno...

Oh, and NA, I vote for Santa Bob

I too had a very pleasant Christmas day. Bill gave me an iPod (I feel like I can finally look the 21st century in the face!), and he loves the Frank Lloyd Wright watch I gave him. After a nice breakfast of sourdough pancakes and bacon, we went over to my sister's. For once, my family managed to overcome our gift giving dyslexia - everyone gave each other gifts they actually liked. As usual, my 2 year old great niece received the biggest haul (my sister's first grand child). Tigers are her favorite animal, and I gave her a stuffed white tiger as big as she is. As the adults all sat around the family room talking, she lay on the floor, cuddling it.

I too feel blessed for my warm and loving family, and for the man who shares my life and loves me as much as I love him.
