Happy Christmas, everybody!

I've seen a lot of family in the past few days, as is to be expected. In fact, almost all of my dad's side of the family is actually in Billings this year, which is generally not to be expected. Between this and the wedding I went to earlier in the year, I've seen a very large fraction of my extended family in the past few months.

The usual gift giving applies, and I think people enjoyed what I got them, and I am quite satisfied with my gifts as well. There seems to be a good chance I'll also end up getting my family Rock Band 2, in the hopes they will play it to my amusement while I am here and to their amusement in the future.

I suppose there is supposed to be some sort of selfless and/or saccharine sentiment at the end of holiday messages such as this, but as my options here are limited to trite or lengthy, I'll do without.
