Merry Christmas all.

It was indeed a wet Christmas in the Seattle area. I called my fam back in Indiana, and it’s 5 below, so It’s all good here today, considering.

Wifey got me Hackers and Painters…the rest of my gifts were just icing on the cake. I wholeheartedly appreciate how much she understood how much I wanted that book. Made me feel a little guilty i didn’t break her off with any scrapbooking goodness this year.

With the new move, it’s been tough all around, to plan, and to even “have Christmas”–this is our first since our marriage, that we haven’t been with either of our in-laws, and we all feel it. It’s been particularly important to me to keep in mind the celebration of the birth of Yahushua the Messiah. It’s easy even, when you “have it easy” to focus completely on the family thing, and lose sight of why this holiday was appropriated in the first place.

Off to friends’ house for dinner.

Thanks Josh & Janny for the shirt!
