We went over­board. Way over­board. I’m head­ing home two days ear­ly to move Char­lie’s old toys to the base­ment. Don’t wor­ry; there are more toys where those came from. Are there ever!

Me? Amaz­ing. Over­whelmed. Ever agree to keep Christ­mas small this year, just focus on the kids? What a way to be exposed as a Scrooge. Got Helen four nice gifts. San­ta went wild for me. Can’t bring them all back on the train. Crazy!

What a won­der­ful hol­i­day. Great food and com­pa­ny real­ly make you feel like a kid again.
