Christmas in Orange County: same as usual.

On a good note, me and my siblings got Best Buy gift cards this year. YES, something that we can use! No more neon green jean jackets or gift cards to stores that don't exist in NorCal. Memoirs of a Geisha was good. The trip was filled with plenty of tv time and hanging out with the kids under 10. That seems to be an improvement from other years.

By the way, I'm gonna be spending New Years with Jon in LA, Disneyland, and California Adventures. I'm gonna take so many pictures! Let's see if we can go thru "It's a Small World" happily high. ha! I can finally experience SoCal without the connotation of relatives or large, isolated houses on suburban hills.
