The gifts I got aren't important, and I did give some pretty unspectacular gifts, but I would like to mention a gift that one of my nephews got and regifted. It was a Nerf chain gun that he just seemed to love. Yesterday, another nephew of mine--home schooled, very shy, lisps-- visited him and also was quite enthralled with the toy. Well, my 9 year-old nephew simply gave the gun to my 5-year-old nephew (brought my sister to tears) saying it was his (9) Christmas present to him (5). Leaving aside the kids' fascination with guns, it made the whole day pretty special. Leave it to the kids to remind the adults what Christmas is all about...

But I wonder how many Muslims tell Christians "Merry Christmas our brothers!!"....I would guess not too many.

So, here I am at work on New Year's Eve. Every time I work on a 31Dec, I fee like I age 4-5 years; that's how many times I'll watch the ball drop tonight on TV.
Anyway, I'm ready...

They were an option under "Go Advanced" when posting. Maybe I abused them (spoilers within spoilers, that kind of thing).
Dan? Daniel? Danny Boy? (the pipes, the pipes are call-all-ling) Where are my spoiler tags?"I'm a vegan. "
