Ok… it’s been a few days since Christmas. You’ve had time to relax, reflect, and clean up all the damn wrapping paper.

Christmas at Casa de WWBD went well.

We spent Christmas Eve just sitting around and relaxing. Of course, we had the kids sit in front of the tree and let them open one present (the same as we do every year). This year, they got to open pajamas (actually, that’s what they get to open on Christmas Eve every year).

My wife and I started that tradition when our eldest learned to walk. This way… they’re in something nice and new and presentable on Christmas day. Of course, they’re going to pass this tradition on to their children and have no idea why they do it… and that makes me happy.

Christmas day was good as well. My children got up (and my… they looked spiffy in their new pajamas) and we proceeded to do the presents. We started, as always, with the gifts that Santa left, then my youngest son donned the Santa cap and was the distributor of gifts from under the tree.

I got some very cool things (huge thanks to Eve for the red Swingline stapler!!).

After that was over, we hit the kitchen and started cooking like mad. We had the whole famn damily coming over at 2:00 and had to get things ready. Turkey, Hamm, pies, green bean casserole, etc.

The food was ready at 3:00 and pretty much everyone was there. We ate, then played games, had a couple “beverages” (ok… some had a few more, but I stole their car keys… so it was all good). We finally got everyone out of there at midnight.

Then my wife went to bed and I fired up my laptop (because I had to work the graveyard shift… but am able to do it from home).

Seriously? good times (except for the working graveyard bit? that blew goats).

How was your Christmas?
