Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year.  It’s a time for family and friends, but most of all, it’s the celebration of the birth of our Lord.  


My family normally goes to my father-in-law’s house for Christmas Eve, and then back to see what Santa brought the kids Christmas morning.

I am really bad about not taking enough family photos, so I thought this year I’d see how well the iPhone camera works.  I think it did fine.

I sincerely hope you and your family had a wonderful and safe Christmas season.  Now, on to Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Friday.

Enjoy!

Here’s the familiar Christmas spread

Here are Angie, Annette and Barry.  Annette actually appeared on the Ed Sullivan show the same night that the Beatles were introduced to us Yanks.  She was only like 5 or something!

All of the kids preparing to open their gifts.  I sure hope they were all good this year…

Here’s my brother-in-law Matt.  Kind of reminds me of Blackbeard’s famous braided beard :>)

My father-in-law Jack’s Aussie cork hat.  He says it keeps the flies away.  But since we were inside, I think it was more of a fashion statement.

People are asking for my recommendations for last minute Christmas presents.  Well, I do have some suggestions:

GET THEM AN iPHONE!!!
My iPhone has done wonders for saving me a bunch of time in my day.  And once you have an iPhone, there are lots of cool accessories for them, too.
