The Fat Man Cometh (Santa, not me!)








TOP: Kathy with her spa certificates. Being the huge Tyra fan that she is, she's signing up for "America's Top Soon-to-be-50 Model" :-)
2nd: Lumpy's new "way cool" bowling shoes
3rd: Lumpy the Snowman (is that redundant?), a gift from niece Brittany
4th: "Little Red", Lumpy, and the "Lump of Coal" that I received as a present from Santa. And you wonder why I have an issue with redheads...

Christmas this year was a mixed bag of emotions for our family. This year both Kathy and I had our moms die, and her emotions were still quite fresh and unexpected. Still, we had a great bunch of family and friends over to the house to hang out, drink eggnog (if that what you call tequila), and exchange gifts. Being such a good boy this year (no, really), I got some really awesome gifts...new bowling shoes (my old ones actually had mold on them and was labeled a superfund site), a couple new books (I love my reading!), new down slippers for my winter camping trips, and a lump of coal. Yes, my 9 year old witch-in-training niece gave me a lump of coal, complete with my big 4 eyes. What more could one ask for?

Kathy got all kinds of great stuff, including several spa treatments to relax her stress away. Because, we know, it's very stressful getting up at 10am everyday, working out, and watching All My Children. How she does it, I don't know.
