3 Days Early

This year, Christmas came on December 22 in our household (I know... I know... and you're thinking, "must they do everything unorthodox?"). No, we didn't just do it because we could (i.e., since neither of our kids can read a calendar yet and they wouldn't know the difference). Instead, we were just making the best of a frustrating situation that involved blown surprises and idiot retailers (thanks, yet again, Amazon, for sending boxes with the name of the content plastered on the front). Anyway, it was a small celebration, with just a single present exchanged per person. And a nice prelude to the festivities that will take place in about another hour and a half, once the kiddies wake up this morning.

In any event, Merry Christmas to all. And a most prosperous new year.












PS... notice V sporting her new pendant from our wedding anniversary 4 days ago. 5 years in the making. Happy Anniversary!
