We had a wonderful Christmas with no snow but plenty of food and presents. We had an awesome BBQ on Christmas eve and stuffed ourselves with turkey on Xmas day. I'm quite sure that my recent two-pound weight loss has been magically transformed in a five-pound gain. Weird how those things happen.

Later today, we are going out for some post-Christmas shopping, maybe grab a movie and then drive back to the in-laws place. In a few days, we are flying back home, and we can start thinking about what to do for the New Year holiday.
