Christmas Day!!!

Merry Christmas, Ya All!!!

We're heading out of town tomorrow, going to Portland for the annual family vacation. Looks like I'll be bringing my dear friend Yeats with me. Awe Yeats, it'd be nice if you'd at least pick up the ticket for a meal or two. Maybe a tank of gas... something, anything...

I got a sweet camera for Christmas. I plan on exercising it much during the trip; and, since I have to take my computer on the trip (thanks again, Yeats), depending on whether I can find Internet service, I might share some of the trip here. [Yeah, lucky you.]

These pictures were two of the six practice pictures. There's Ms. Dog, Sydney, sporting her Christmas bandana; and, there's "Singing Pizza Elmo."

For those of you that don't know, my dad gets me an Elmo every year for either my birthday or Christmas. This year, it's "Singing Pizza Elmo." It's fricken hilarious. The pizza actually sings along with Elmo in a fine operatic tenor.

I'm not sure how the Elmo tradition started. I think it started with a pocket watch I once got for Christmas with Elmo on it, then I got the Elmo slippers, and TickleMe Elmo (which is a story unto itself), etc, etc.

Anywho, Merry Christmas!
