Merry Christmas everybody! I have survived another Christmas Holiday, and even had fun in places. In fact, this Christmas was so much better than so many previous (and memorable) Christmases. For instance:

1. My leg isn't broken
2. I haven't lost my job
3. Nobody died
4. Nobody has been diagnosed with cancer (though the last two times this happened it wasn't, technically, Christmas. It was in January...but the good news is that both my husband and my father are alive and well today!!)
So this is just like Thanksgiving, where you list what you're grateful for, only I'm late. I'm also grateful for the dog, the parrot, the pair-a-tweeters, the cat and the fish. Having them all get along: Priceless.

Oh, and that reminds me - absolultely NO credit card debt of any kind this year! Something to be doubly thankful for. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, Visa!
