Christmas!

The Christmas tree fit nicely in our living room.  By nicely I mean in circumference.  It looked a bit short in a room with a 12 ft ceiling.  Can't have that with a wife from Santa Claus!  Next year will be a different tree and we'll look to dump this one off on a sister-in-law I suppose.  It's been a good tree for the Eble's since my parents bought it while I was in grade (maybe high) school.

Holly and I are fortunate to work at companies that are shutdown from Christmas to New Years so there wasn't too much traveling (after Christmas Eve...different story) or such.  Just sitting around like bumps on a log. Holly's been going through some back issues since around mid-December so it was actually nice not to have to do anything.  Being someone that doesn't like to be cooped up too long, I volunteered to go grocery shopping.

100% of the happiness of owning an American Girl doll.  1/4 the price.  Thanks Santa (Target)!

Many thanks to Grandmom for the stockings.  One for each of us knitted by hand!
