This Christmas season has been really wonderful. I'm not in school, I've learned a lot about how to be a better guy this year, and the kids are older and enjoy it more. It's been an extended season for us - we put up the lights the week after Thanksgiving, got the trees later that week, and we had our last Christmas present-opening event just last night.
Our 4 Christmases were all different: the extended-family party for my mom's side at our house, our private family Christmas day, Christmas with my sister, brother, his wife, and parents at our house on the 29th, and then again with Katrina's family in Springfield last night.
People are nice and wonderful, the gifts were fun to give and to get, the kids all really had fun with it (not having an infant is wonderful!), and Katrina and I didn't have the tension we've always had around Crhistmas time. This is the first year (of many) that the Tom Grinch hasn't showed up.
A happy new year to you all - may 2009 be as wonderful a year as any we have seen!
