And so ends another excellent Christmas.
This was our last Christmas as childless parents, and the years to come will be very, very different. I was even given a book this year that will get me ready for 2008!
I scored on the video game front, getting everything I had asked for… Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, The Orange Box, and Super Mario Galaxy. That’s all I really wanted and probably all that I will want for a good long while.

I also asked for, and received, something that embodies a lifestyle that appeals to me greatly – a lifestyle of daily evening martinis, comfortable slippers, pillowy leather couches, and an adoring family.
Yes, I now own two v-neck button-front cardigan sweaters.

They lack the snootiness and hipster edge of a hoodie, and they make me look older and more distinguished. I shall make the cardigan lifestyle my lifestyle.
Hey 2008, let’s get this show on the road. 2007 is old news.
