AWESOME post, @thedamus! Thank you for sharing your Christmas Holiday. It was likewise so hectic for me. I am just now, in between work during my short breaks, visiting your blog and hopefully respond to comments! It is not the end of Christmas season yet, LOL!!! There is still a few more activities and celebrations to attend... and then there is the End of the Year and the New Year's parties!!! It sure is the weight-gain season!
