Merry Christmas, or not if it's not your thing. I have to admit the governmental mandation of Judeo Christian holidays is a it creepy, but when it comes to holidays, whose really going to argue, right?

As for me I'm off to my sister's to spend the day with my newly-arrived, jet-lagged-but-still-lovely mother and sister, as well as the rest of the flock. Hope your is lovely and filled with good cheer (by which I mean food).
