Today is day one of our Christmas

Our offspring will be with us today and tonight. Then, tomorrow morning, everyone will go their seperate ways.

We do it this way for two reasons:

1. Christmas is a season, not a day. imiting your celebration to a single day is silly.
2. Doing it this way means no one is stressed about having to make a decision about who to see on Christmas day.

We will see my siblings during the week for our traditional holiday dinner.

Since today is earmarked for Christmas, you don't get much of a posting.

I did spend a few minutes this morning looking for links.

This is what I found:

• Face tattoos are usually an indication that you probably make bad life decisions.



• Welcome to Massachusetts where we have warnings for everything.



• Chunks of Sperm Whale would be a great name for Red Lobster nightly special.



• At least he took his little brother (or sister) with him.



• Key entry from our favorite police log: "12:54 a.m. A woman wanted officers to check on her boyfriend, because she hadn’t heard from him since they decided to give each other space for a while."



• I was not aware of this piece of Christmas history.
