Merry Christmas

The PB, her husband and the cats just finished unwrapping all their presents and are feeling happy, blessed, and righteous — having done their part to stimulate the economy. Christmas is about so much besides presents, but at the end of the day, you've still got the presents, and that's just fine.

Now we're heading to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the Christmas City of the USA, for more family festivities. With a big snowstorm coming, or not coming — or maybe it will be a small snowstorm, or blow out to sea — we have no idea what traveling back to Boston on Monday (or maybe tomorrow) will be like. We're keeping our plans loose, and hope it won't turn out to be too much of an adventure.

I'll post again when we return. In the meantime, Merry Christmas!
