Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, everyone!!
I hope you all had a glorious Christmas Eve and had fun at Mass. Our Mass went wonderfully–the Haydn rocked , and we were so proud!–and the Messiah pieces also went well. It can be hard to gauge the quality of sound since you’re listening and surrounded by everyone, but we got a lot of nice compliments so I’m assuming it went well. But the Haydn just rocked. I am so proud that we got that down. Woohoo!!
Christmas morning here began at 8:00 and the Christmas Carnage began. 
After the gifts we had Mom’s great Christmas breakfast of Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls and sausage links (mmmmm…if my blood sugar was low before breakfast–which it kind of was–it isn’t now!) and coffee that I made for me and my siblings. Currently Dad and Bryan are setting up his new MacBook (I am sooooo jealous! I want one!) and Mel is being George Lucas with her Santa-given videocamera. I have been immersing myself in the new Pride and Prejudice gift set, which includes 3 DVDs (a bonus disc!) and the making-of book, which is very enjoyable. I am also looking forward to ravaging The Silver Spoon , the Italian cooking Bible with more than 2,000 (yes, 2,000 ) recipes. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..so much good food, so little time….
