Happy Festivus!

That's right, it's nearly that time of year again. No, there won't be any "feats of strength," though there may be an annual "airing of the grievances."

Tomorrow (Thursday) is a holiday this year, at least as far as the O&O household is concerned. Since this is my holiday trip back home, Thursday is our "Christmas." Oddly enough, it'll also be my "Birthday." I think maybe we should also count down to midnight and crack open a bottle of champagne and call it "New Year's Eve" as well, though that might be overkill.

Anyway, as you all know, folks don't do much on holidays, real ones or otherwise. Get up early, open gifts, eat, have the annual family argument, then sit around and do nothing. If you're religious, tack on a trip to Church/Synagogue, and you're set for the day. With any luck, I'll have plenty of time to blog about all the excitement (or lack thereof) this week.
