...and to all a good night...

Hope Christmas is going well for you guys. We did our package-opening ritual early this morning, after Lissa and I got home from our respective jobs. I got a bottle of Sauza Hornitos tequila, two Cohiba cigars, a couple of books and a pair of groovy T-shirts, including one with this image.

Lissa got a Family Guy DVD, a new makeup box, a book and some bling. The cat got a mechanical mouse (though he seems much more fascinated with the ribbon from our packages). After that we said Merry Christmas and went to bed.

Here's hoping your holiday is as blissfully "uneventful" as was ours.

(As a Christmas bonus, I have appended herewith a couple of small gifts for you: my favorite Christmas fable, and a tribute to Jean Shepherd [author of "A Christmas Story"] written by, of all people, Donald Fagen...)
