It’s extremely dead here at work today, as pretty much everyone decided last minute to take the day off. I kind of like it when that happens; it’s much quieter and I can get my projects done without being interrupted.

My Christmas present haul this year once again proved to me how big of a kid I really am. We’re talking loads of movies, video games, a remote-controlled Dodge Viper (compliments of Meg’s dad), and, thanks to my dad, the Bose sound dock for my iPod.

My dad came ’round for Christmas Eve, so we spent the evening decorating first Meg’s mom’s tree up in Carlstadt and then ours at home. It was a really nice evening, topped off with a power outage that covered a few city blocks for a few hours. Chris ended up coming over and we wasted the time away drinking wine and having target practice on the television with one of Meg’s new Nerf guns.

On Christmas Day, my mother and stepdad came over, having spent Christmas Eve at Woody’s mom’s place in Princeton, so we had the typical Christmas Day thing: opening presents and eating far too much, then moaning about it. Good times.

I’m ready to go home and sleep.
