The Perfect Christmas.....

If not the perfect Christmas, it was the very best one I've had in decades! Early morning present opening with a 10 year old and his grandparents, Christmas dinner with two sets of grandparents, lazy evening with just Julie, Jack and me, and all at our house. No running hither and yon to different activities at seperate locales. Christmas dinner was simple yet elegant and I'm very lucky to be marrying someone who has superior entertaining, culinary and organizational skills.

The gifts to all were not large but very well received and liked. Most went to 10 year old Jack of course. He received several PlayStation2 games [ones I like too......] some football equipment, clothes, and my surprise gift to him [and his dead eye Mom], a genuine Daisy Red Ryder BB gun**. I received some needed articles of clothing, a great DVD biography of Ansel Adams and becaused I whinned that I wasn't receiving any "toys" in the wedding gifts, the beautiful Julie surprised me with a WebCam, something I probably wouldn't have ever bought for myself. As of now it's installed on her powerful newer computer that will not be hooked up to the Web for another week or so. But when it is; watch out. We plan on live shots from the estate and even live interactive broadcasts.

It was a beautiful Christmas. So nice to have a beautiful bride to be and a great step son to be here with me!
