One week from now a lot of us will have our fantasies and wishes rippes to shreds as we open presents of tea kettles instead of diamonds, neck ties instead of keys to our new Lexus'. So whatcha doing for the holidays?
I've got < 3 more days before my mom flies in for 2 weeks of holiday cheer, and headaches listening to how alone she is now, all by herself in New England My brother, who is stationed in Jacksonville, NC, will be schlepping up here for a couple nights. It's been several years since my side of the family has gathered for the holidays so it should be interesting to say the least.
After the actual Christmas holiday we'll be spending the next 10 days on a whirlwind tour of daily activities in the area.
