joyeux noel

I got a lot of presents -- more than I was expecting or deserved! -- and they are all amazingly wonderful. ( swag! )

And everybody in the family is chilling out and we've all had our naps and are sitting around listening to Dean Martin sing Christmas music and yummy food is cooking and it's calm and beautiful and just. Wonderful. It's a wonderful, wonderful Christmas.

And I just got online and all of YOU are having great days and freaking out about how awesome yuletide is and just being full of love.

And to top it all off? It's snowing outside. You guys, I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for 16 years, and I can't remember this EVER happening before. It's freaking MAGICAL.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. *beams at you all*
