One more thing
We recently received a package from Elaine's parents... which was of sufficient size that they could easily have just shipped themselves here for the holidays.
What's this?! A New Post?!
A couple quick thoughts on Christmas:
1) I would like, some day, to be the kind of guy who has a pear or some celery for a snack when I settle in for some late-night post-kids-in-bed interwebbing.
Tonight, for example, I sat down with a glass of water and a "perfectly ripe" (thanks M&S) Conference Pear*. Yet somehow not 12 seconds later I find that I have stuffed an entire mince pie into my mouth.
2) I am singularly atrocious at wrapping gifts. Not the "ha ha, he means well" atrocious where everyone shares a chuckle and a wry smile. More like the "kids won't open the gifts because the only thing you'd wrap like that is a spider's nest" kind of atrocious.
* I assume these pears were specially bred for large industry gatherings and trade shows. Who knew?
