<\/div>\n

I’m not afraid to use the words, nor “Seasons Greetings” — courtesy, respect, and pleasant wishes for others doesn’t diminish my <\/em>beliefs and personal enjoyment of my own religious occasion. Guess my faith is strong enough …<\/p>\n

At any rate, I hope everyone’s end-of-year jollity is jolly, and that Santa was good to you. We had a very nice, and not-overly-hectic time — Christmas Eve dinner at the Ks with extended family, Christmas morning at the Ks (with my folks in attendance), Christmas afternoon and dinner at my folks’ (with brother and family there, too), Christmas Dessert down at the Dellis, etc. Somewhere in the middle there Jackie flew out from Denver, adding to the festivities.<\/p>\n

Lots of fun swag, too, in particularly my much-longed-for Dr. Horrible <\/em>DVD, plus clothes and decor and books and other goodies. <\/p>\n

Thanks to those who shot me IMs, perhaps wondering where I was (it’s Faerie, dagnabbit, and days flow like water here). Happy Boxing Day (apologies to those of you who use gift bags instead), and may you continue to be happy and safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
