Well, Christmas time is here once again, and I for one am surprised at how fast it came. Seems like only yesterday I was coming back from my honeymoon in October, and now it's Christmas!
Once again I find myself working, and Abigail is not. (pouts) However, we have had Christmasy things the past few days, including this morning, so it's not too bad this time around. Maybe I'll get New Years off, in which case you're all invited to come over for what I've done several New Years in a row now. Kayce, this means you.
Needless to say, Christmas has been a little different this year. I'm forced to be a lot simpler in my gift purchasing than in recent years since I'm now paying for rent and all. It makes me appreciate my parents more. Additionally, I'm buying presents for/celebrating with two families now (actually I did last year too), and that's a switch.
It's not at all bad, and it looks like Abigail's parents have to get used to including me in Christmas just as I am getting used to them. Abigail has to get used to my parents as well; my mom gives socks and underwear to everyone, and you have to show the packages off!
I got to see Matt and Travis, which was nice. I'm house-sitting until the 2nd, with a beautiful house close to my parents, including a widescreen plasma HD TV. Really spiffy. I am sorry I didn't get to see most of you, but hopefully that will change (Kayce!). So, a very merry happy to all of you, and to all a good night!
