We had a nice Christmas day together at home. Here's Annie on Christmas morning in the debris field of gifts and cast-aside wrapping stuff. She got earphones, Japanese language learning software and a Borders gift certificate - oh boy!
For a number of years we have been deemphasizing the "stuff" giving component of Christmas. We stopped exchanging with my mom, sister Karyn and in-laws Lee and Yvonne and instead do charitable donations to Ronald McDonald House, Highlands Sanctuary and Cincinnati Freestore Foodbank in their names. Lee Ann and I are giving each other a shared B & B getaway weekend to be named later.
