happy christmas eve!

     in honor of white christmases past (and unfortunately not present) i have added these little snowflakes to grace your screens.  now for those unfortunate souls who despise winter and will probably find these annoying, i apologize, but, dang it, i like 'em!  i grew up in detroit, michigan where i remember snow even in june! 

     i've made a few minor tweaks to the site...i hope they work better for everyone.  as i said...a work in progress.  this html thing is proving to be a little difficult to learn (for me, anyway).  maybe someday i'll get a kickin site going.

     so what are everyone's plans for today?  my family is having our traditional christmas eve get-together.  somehow i like it better than on christmas day...it gives me a chance to play with all of my new toys!  all of the cousins and aunts and uncles come over and we sit around the fire eating, opening gifts (don't worry, we save some for christmas day!), singing (corny, isn't it?  but i love it ), and telling stories of the ghosts of christmases past.  and right when you think that we couldn't get any more hopelessly annoying, a small fight breaks out and someone ends up going to the hospital.  well...maybe not every year.  anyway, i hope that your holidays, no matter which ones you celebrate, are filled with joy. 

with love from your xanga buddy,

chris
