Li'l sis and her husband have already opened their presents.
Mom bounds up and fetches us food at the least provocation, despite our attempts to coax her into just sitting still and chatting.
Dad is very stoic and gracious about how little access he has to his own computer while we're all here.
The inlaws and the outlaws and the over-99- and under-5-year-olds are all due to descend in the morning for the festive paper armageddon.
And I'm really happy to be here.
I hope all of you are happy too, wherever you are and regardless of whether you celebrate the same things I do. Best wishes to you all, and peace on Earth.
