Holy Eucharist at the National Cathedral on Christmas Eve.
Opening the best present ever…
A shoe shining kit from Neil (made by handicapped folks). I am secretly obsessed with shining my shoes. Hurrah for Neil!
Neil enjoying a new book… I am not as good a gift-getter as Neil. No one ever could be.
MERRIEST OF CHRISTMASES TO ALL!!!!!!

This is a reenactment of our surprise entrance into my family’s house on Christmas eve. We told everyone we couldn’t get time off until the 28th & surprised them. We spent about 90 minutes waiting outside the house stalking them for the right moment to surprise them when they’d all be in the same room, but we got restless & just decided to barge in. Despite our lack of patience it turned out to be a successful surprise & was billed a Christmas miracle by all.
The night was filled with DI wonders from my dad. Everyone at the wrapping station at the BYU bookstore calls him “the DI guy” since he buys DI presents & has them wrapped up professionally.
These orange socks were among the excellent catches from Neil’s Christmas haul.
As was this vibrant turquoise cowboy shirt from the 80s. My dad must have read Neil’s Christmas list.
It was the best Christmas surprise ever.
Especially since on the way up we paid $6.37 to stay the night in Terrible’s Primm Valley Resort. High Class. High Class!
In case you are not good at reading facial expressions… what you see above is good ol’ fashioned Christmas cheer. From us & ours to you & yours. Happy Christmas! (There is also a hint of “ohmygosh I am so glad to be done with law school finals” on my face. And, ohmygosh I LOVE working at a mall during Christmas on Neil’s 
)
My brother asked me what would really knock my socks off for Christmas…Oh, man. Neil and I went to the Zoo today… now I am sure of it. I want a baby Koala. Bad. I’d even move to Australia to have one… So, there you have it. All I want for Christmas is a house in Australia with a baby Koala waiting inside.

You read that right. It really does exist, the Musical Uncle Santa Snowglobe was won fair and square by Neil and I at a Christmas Curry party we went to this weekend. As you can see from the picture, it is much like your average Santa snowglobe, with the glaring irregularity that this Santa clearly favors kiddies born in the US of A. From the picture you cannot however, see that the globe produces the tune “God Bless America.”
This item is not a gag. It is a legitimately marketed product that was purchased, donated to a charity auction, and brought to us by fate’s loving delivery. While it presents many conundrums, the principal one for us is whether to put it up at Christmastime or for Independence Day.
And, that’s right folks, just as you might expect it’s Made in China.
