Finally had Christmas at my folks place today. The snow in Portland is pretty much gone, and it had finally melted enough in my hometown that the family thought we all might manage to get to my parents house safely. Even then, there was no way I could have driven my car up there (there was still over a foot of snow on the ground and lots of deep slushy roads) so Kelly & I met my brother C in town a few miles away and left our car. This year we’d all agreed to do a small Christmas, with the goal of making things more than buying things. This lead to some nice gifts (Kelly made jars of cookie mix with attached recipies, my mom knitted stocking caps, that kind of thing). It was very nice and relaxing. We also had a large brunch and I ate way too much. Still full.
