Paul SHaving already done our Chanukah thing, we set out on Xmas Eve to some good friends here on Long Island, where we had good laughs, good seafood, got silly, and exchanged presents too.
Xmas day had us driving into NYC for the section of the family that celebrates Xmas (double-dipping, as it were.) I got some books, a shirt, and the always welcome Starbucks assortment gift pack. Got to witness some of the usual annual snarling between in-laws -- always makes me grateful! -- and then back home to hang with our dog. Low and behold, when we got back here it turns out he's finally decided to convert. I think he wants presents for both holidays too.
