Christmas 2005 Prep
Thursday, 22 Dec 2005 Family
This year, Anna and I are joining our parents (both sets!) in not exchanging Christmas presents. It's surprising how much this has reduced Christmas stress. It remains to be seen if missing out on getting and giving the loot is worth the extra relaxation.
Tonight we're getting everything ready for an early-morning departure to my parent's house in Portland, where we'll spend the next several days with Mom, Dad, sister Charis, and both of my grandmothers. The cats stay home, with Anna's Aunt Lillian in residence to watch them and the house.
Merry Christmas, everyone! See you when we return.
