Christmas.....

This was my first Christmas season in years without a Christmas break. How was it, you might ask?

Don't get my wrong, I LOVE having a job, and I am so grateful to have it.

However......

I used to love being able to come home for two weeks, relax, play games, get chauffered from party to party, and just generally have a good time. There were plenty of good times to be had this year, but I always had work in the back of my mind. Such is life, with real responsibility I guess. I sure wasn't complaining when all my friends were taking finals, so I guess there are losses and gains.

My sister and her family stayed in our house (i.e. my bedroom) for a couple of weeks, and it was really great to have them around. Their daughter is as cute as can be and it was nice to always have a couple of people who were up for playing a game, whether it be Phase 10, FIFA or Ticket to Ride.

Here's a family picture we took while everyone was still together.

Hope everyone else had a nice holiday season.
