Merry Christmas to All

Hello all and Merry Christmas! First and foremost, I am happy to celebrate the birth of Jesus and the continued growth of my faith; and, running a close second, I am blessed to be loving and loved in the presence of the people I care for most in the world this holiday season. I am stuffed, relaxed, well-rested, and gloriously unproductive. This has been a fulfilling and worthwhile holiday experience and I am grateful for it. Before the end of the year, I'll do a reflective/thankful list for 2006, but until then, eat as much as you can, love your loved ones reeeeally big, and remember our troops and the families from which they are separated this holiday season in your prayers. Merry Christmas to all and to all a blessed night. :)
