How was Christmas?
-
Travelling over the holidays is not for me. Never again, I say. Seattle was wet, wet, wet. Not as cold as I thought it would be, heng ah. Our seven days there was spent bouncing from relative to relative, party to party. No time to even take a nice long drive away from relatives. And as expected, we came home with two extra bags of stuff. Can you imagine receiving a bag of MRE as an Xmas gift? Most of our relatives shop at the Thrift store.
I'm glad to be back in sunny California and 20 degrees warmer. 
What did you get for Christmas? Now that the gift giving orgy is over, I'm looking forward to a brand new year. May the new year be filled with nothing but happiness and good health. Cheers ! -
I bought 48 bottles of beer, a bottle of wine, two turkeys and a beef roast ....
now I'm down to half a gnawed turkey and 8 bottes of beer .....

(Okay! I'm terrible at analogies. So sue me! )
Christmas Eve was spent at a good friend's house watching the movie "Army Of Darkness" on his 50" plasma HDTV while trying to wolf down a (I kid you not) 1.5 lb. prime cut of sirloin steak, plus assorted sides. I barely managed to finish the steak, and had to skip dessert, for obvious reasons!
Christmas was, as usual, spent with my good friend Jim and his family. I met Jim right after coming to Minnesota in '91, and have spent every Christmas Day with his family and him since then. Jim is a total riot, and I've always maintained that his comic timing and sense of humour would easily land him a job as a stand-up comedian if he ever got laid off from Northwest Airlines. Again, lots of food, drink and entertainment, and the evening concluded with stomachs full from all the gorging, and sides aching from excessive laughter.
2007 will soon be upon us, and I'd like to wish one and all a very Happy New Year! -

Had an early Christmas pot-luck thing at home with friends, that was fun, received some presents
Went to support some friends at a bowling competition on the 23rd,they did pretty well , came in 3rd. Did some last minute Xmas shopping.
Eve spent at home having steamboat dinner & watching DVDs
Xmas day had family lunch outside, not that great because place was crowded and kinda noisy with kids and all. But guess it was inevitable. Had egg nog! And then went home to steamboat part 2 -

Went to a Christmas Party on Christmas Eve, right after morning shift! It was a wonderful feeling sitting right there, watching the love between the people in the room, people who have known each other for a long, long, time... just sitting there and basking in the warmth.
Returned to work on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and worked right through till my mega-four-days-off from Saturday till Tuesday! Managed to squeeze in an outing to Singapore Chom Chom with a forumite somewhere in between too!
After work on Christmas Day itself, went home, nua'd on my couch and turned on the Christmas lights at home and just sat there watching the blinking lights till I felt kinda sick! The peace, the quiet, broken by the occasional shouts of glee or carolling from neighbouring partygoers... lovely!
First Christmas in Melbourne, and it was pretty good!
