Hi there friends.

I hope that you're celebrating a happy holiday season, and that you've gotten everything that you need from the grocery stores until they open up again. My family and my parents are at my house, waiting for my sister and her boyfriend to get here from the Duluth-area so that we can open up Christmas morning presents. Yay! I wonder what I got.

It seems that there is a new holiday tradition starting in America. It is an import tradition from the United Kingdom. In the UK, I hear that the BBC plays James Bond movies all day on Christmas. Apparently, Spike TV here in the states is trying to establish a similar tradition. (They're playing seven days of 007 movies around the holiday time.) I hope that it sticks. I like being able to watch snippets of various 007 movies during the day.

I will leave you with my dearest Christmas wishes and a cute picture of Kentaro and myself on the couch (we're cuddling!)
