I had such a wonderful time this year. I got to spend the early part of the week with my Dad. Because he was here, I took time off from work. When you combine that with the time the gave us off at work, I only worked two 1/2 days last week. The rest of the time, I was at the zoo, in Venice and introducing my Daddy to Firefly. Oh, yeah, we ate really yummy dinners each night.

I got to spend Christmas Eve with my Mom, as usual. The new thing was, we went to my uncle's ranch in Norco. I don't get to spend to much time talking with that part of my family, so it was really nice to visit with them, eat good food and go over memories.

I also got to meet my Mami's new boyfriend. I like him. He has a personality. His politics are left of center. He speaks Spanish. He's an outdoorsman. He brings her flowers and calls her to tell her how happy he is that she's a part of his life. Provided he continues to treat her well, I think he'll do just fine.

Once I got home, we had all the roomies in the same place at the same time, so we opened gifts. We had a bit of an audience. It was more of my/our chosen family who were there before we headed out to a candle-light service. I was so happy, just sitting there watching those I love open their gifts, they'd get all excited, it made me giddy. It was a very emotional thing for me to be with my family in my home celebrating.

Christmas day was relaxing...the roomies opened their stockings at various points when they were home. We went to Patch's family in the evening. Dinner with a bunch of Jews on December 25 was a lot of fun. We got to meet his sister's fiance's family. They are cool people.

Overall - it was a great few days.
