296 – The Week After

The week after Christmas is always a bit of a let-down, only because you’re going 100 miles per hour the week before, readying the house for visitors, for Christmas dinner, wrapping presents.. etc. Now, all that’s done, and it’s a pretty abrupt halt.

My/our Christmas was very nice except for my daughter coming down with a very nasty cold. Poor thing, she’s really feeling under the weather.

I got plenty of great things for Christmas.. including a UCONN Husky hoodie from my friend Dave, some stuff for my Corvette and a real nice UCONN Husky Basketball denim shirt from my son and daughter, some clothes and a nice bamboo cutting board from my wife.. everything I had asked for! *S*

Christmas Eve, we went to my mom’s house and had food and munchies, opened a few things there and had a great time. Christmas Day, everyone came to my house, there were eleven of us and had a great meal. All in all, a wonderful long weekend.

And now, some quotes:
