It came, it went, it conquered.

Why does Christmas have to end? Each year, I feel such a post-Christmas let down that I have to spend the rest of my break moping around watching past TV series on DVD. Some days I can't even leave the house for fear that Christmas will slip that much farther away. Because outside my house, I'm sure the world has moved on. But inside my house, wearing my Christmas pjs around the clock* and propped up on either side by Christmas goodies from friends and family, Christmas lives on.

I'm thinking about posting a few pictures, but I'm trying to discipline myself to write all I have to say before I start uploading, because that long process always puts end to my typing hands. This Christmas was lovely, I mean-- is lovely. It snowed and snowed and snowed which is exactly what I asked for. I also discovered the hobby in my future which will make me socially indispensable: yodeling. (Thanks Uncle Mike.) Believe me when I tell you I will be practicing. During my sophomore year of college I decided I needed to learn to roll my Rs, and I drove my roommates nuts with my incessant talking to myself, and only ever one word--correo. Roommates, consider this a late Christmas gift. We'll all benefit, I promise. All good things take time.

I'm done. Enjoy some pictures.

Skiing makes us all happy.


David's request for Christmas morning wrestling didn't end so well for him.

Love this creche.


Girls' outing to The Nutcracker.



*I actually don't have any Christmas pjs. But that hasn't stopped me from wearing my regular pjs around the clock.
