It's Christmas Eve. How time flies. After losing it last year, I think this year I found my Christmas spirit, or at least something closely related. Thank you to all of you for your cards, your well-wishes, and your joy. *hugs everyone*
My parents and I just opened presents, and in addition to S4 of Northern Exposure (the last season I needed to complete my collection, since I refuse to admit to the existence of the last season), some lovely jewelery and shirts (I found the one empire-waisted shirt in the world that looks flattering on me!), I received the four-quart saucepan I coveted, and, as a surprise, a wooden cutting board! I've been using these floppy plastic affairs and complaining about them off and on all semester, so my mom got me a real one. It all made me very happy. Oh, I am officially Old now. (Old enough to cook giant soups and lots and lots of noodles! Huzzah!)
Speaking of Christmas, you should all visit the iTunes store and pick up the free single of the week--it's Stephen Colbert singing a Christmas song of his own devising. Very funny. :)
