Sure this is not my “normal” Christmas, I am not lying on the floor of my Palos Heights home warming my feet by the heater in the den watching A Christmas Story for 24 hours Straight, but it is Christmas. I already celebrated with part of my family (the new part) and I am happy to say that things were very fun. I am quite happy with my gifts…*cough* iBook G4 *cough*…yeah I still really can’t believe it. I am happy that I got to see my Mom, Step-dad, Step-Siblings, and Step-Sibling-In-Laws? (This whole step, in-law junk is a pain in the butt!) I am back in GR and working on Christmas Eve, but at least now I can take advantage of the wireless internet in the hotel. I even get to watch A Christmas Story from across the lobby. I am celebrating tomorrow with the Grimberg side of the family, so that should be fun. That will conclude the my official celebration of the holiday. I have no plans for New Years Eve, I have to work New Years Day morning at 7:00am but that shouldn’t be too big of a deal, I will just drink some coffee and go about my regular business. But if anyone wants to hang out on New Years Eve night, just let me know!

Here are some Pictures from Christmas - Part 1.

Here is the gang (minus Kim, Jeremy, and Elise) sitting around the table talking over Birthday Cake and Coffee

Here I am reading the Christmas Alphabet Pop-up book to Caroline and Amelia (my Nieces)

And finally, Amelia talking on a cell-phone, She just walks around the house talking to nobody and even closes the darn thing with her chin!

I will tell you more about my holiday experiences once they are finished!
