Sounds like everything is going well over there. Great photos too!
As I'm sure you know, Christmas isn't celebrated much here. They are big into Santa and getting the kids all hyped up for presents, but beyond that it is nothing special. We enjoyed watching the kids go nuts, so that was fun.
Today was the last day of work for the year. Tomorrow (Friday) starts New Years holiday, which for offically lasts until the 3rd but for most companies will last until the 8th. I'm looking forward to some nice time with the family, though I'm sure the kids will drive me crazy after a day or two, but that's part of the season.
