Christmas morning came and here’s a picture of me opening the many presents that were under the tree FOR ME!!!
Here I am eagerly opening a package just like when I was five years old! That's Mom to my left.
So what did I get? I got some nice clothing from Eddie Bauer. During my Thanksgiving visit, I picked up a catalog and picked out some things that I liked and here they were under the tree.
Two waffle crew shirts and a houndstooth sweater vest.
There actually was another nice sweater top but when I put it on, the cut of the shoulders was strange and it literally looked that I had shoulders that pointed up. Very strange looking, so it was promptly returned the next day.
In addition, I got a bunch of small items, a Barnes & Noble Gift certificate, a razor and replacement blades, boxers, a surprise gift from my friend Heidi and the annual stocking stuffer…replacement heads for my sonicare toothbrush.
Booty, booty, booty……..
Lastly, I asked for new bed linens this year so Mom went out and got them for me. She knows that I don’t ever use the top sheets, so clever Mom that she is, she sewed the two top sheets together to make a comforter cover. Look!!!
My new comforter cover that I match my two new sets of sheets. Isn’t Mom resourceful and creative? Yeah she is…..
It was a good Christmas in the material sense. But more important is that the family was present. As is tradition (and torture) every year, a family photo must be shot. Dad, the photo fanatic, still had not mastered the self-timer on his new digital camera. But this is the family shot of 2004.

Here are some photos from the morning present opening gala.

Nothing more need be said!
