I was able to enjoy a very long weekend, thanks to a day off that I had set up months ago. I used the extra day to pack up and ship all our Christmas presents to various places. Now it’s December 6th, and Christmas preparation is all done. We set up the Christmas tree on Sunday night, and we’re ready for the holidays. It’s a good feeling. <\/p>\n
Speaking of Christmas, we’ll be hosting a total of three parties here before December 25th, so last night we ran off to Costco to stock up on party supplies. We’re going to serve roast turkey for Kuniko’s parents – I’m looking forward to seeing their reaction to the other white meat.<\/p>\n
