Merry Christmas everybody!!

I'm still working on a Japan write-up so please bare with me. But in the meantime, and in the spirit of the season, I wanted to wish everyone who reads this a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I spent tonight with my Mom, ensuring that her first Christmas Eve without my Stepdad wasn't spent alone. We exchanged gifts (I'm sooooo spoiled!) and watched National Treasure so that we can go see the sequel later this week. It was a nice way to spend the evening and I know she was happy to have me around. I know I enjoyed my time with her!!! Tomorrow I'm off to my sister Chantelle's place for Christmas with my Dad and Stepmom's family, where I'm sure to get spoiled again! Yesterday I spent the day at my sister Crystal's place , doing the Christmas thing with her and the family from my Mom's side. It was a great day and a wonderful meal. Thanks again Crys!!! So far I've had a great Christmas season and I'm very thankful for that. I can hardly wait for tomorrow. And even though you've heard it before it still needs to be said: BE SAFE!!!! Don't drink and drive; call a cab. Hell, call me if you need to (and if I live near you). It's not worth getting caught. Now that I've done my public service announcement for the evening, I leave you with this.

In a season filled with commercialism, gift-giving, and money spending, skip all that and give the greatest gift that anyone could possibly get this and any other Christmas season: the gift of friendship. Spend time with your friends and loved ones and let them know you love them and appreciate them. I think that's the greatest gift of all.

Take care all.
