Merry Christmas!

I know I'm about a half an hour late, but I was watching a movie with my nephew. Today was a pretty good Christmas. The gifts: a finger puppet, clothes, coins, a prediction of the next presidential election (long story), some music, an RC helicopter, and of course the bass from a few days ago. Although I have to clarify that the gifts are not what made today great. It was really nice to hear my nephew say he really liked the toy spy binoculars I got him, and that was after he had gotten a Nintendo DS. He also told me today that I was definitely on the nice list. It was good to spend the day with what little family I have in Washington.

It's also nice to remember what the day is really all about. It has become a tradition now. It has happened for the second year in a row, and I think it's going to stick. We have decided to remember the true meaning of Christmas by having a birthday cake for Jesus. I know that it's not a super-original idea, but I kinda like it. It's a way to keep the focus on the reason for the season, so to speak.

Oh, so merry Christmas everyone!
