Our little family celebrated quietly yet extravagantly this year - Santa and family spoiled us without mercy, and even the Huffalump was spoiled, despite the fact that it's not here yet!
We slept in a bit, and were woken with a phone call from my parents, then staggered down to a breakfast of freshly-baked cinnamon buns, mandarins, and tea/coffee (will need to tweak the Christmas menu a bit for next year...for example, the candy group was missing in its entirety),
then a nice bit of stocking opening, before tackling the too-much-generosity of gifts under the tree.
The afternoon flew by, with more phone calls to and from family, as I made an apple pie and Chris handled the meat and potatoes (and broccolis and carrots and -- yech -- turnips). Dinner was delicious; we had decided on a nice roast beast (that the Grinch himself carved), and it was amazing. Yes, even the turnip. After dinner, we played a round of Killer Bunnies, then waddled off to bed.
I doubt that next year will be as peaceful!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

I would like a large file copy of the picture of you in front of the tree in your jammies! It reminds me of similar pictures from 25 or 30 years ago.....
Mommmmm
