Shiny has asked about our holidy traditions so.... We do a thing on Christmas Eve where each household does a differnt part (appetizers, main dish, deserts, and the last household does after-dinner drinks for those that drink).
We walk from house to house doing the Christmas Eve celebrating for hours. This time, it was more exhausting than usual because Wolfie had to work Christmas Day so we did all of our household gift exchange that night instead of Christmas morning.
On Christmas Morning, we go over to my parents' house and have a late breakfast and exchange gifts.
Even Indians who practice traditional spiritual ways don't miss a chance to have parties and give-aways, so that's not an issue!
Well, I think I have temporarily lost my mate to the gift I gave him. He's been wanting an XM satelite radio for years, so that's what I got him. He's been like a little kid about it and is totally fascinated with the whole thing.
That's ok, because he's temporarily lost me to the gift they all gave me. They all went in on a souped-up new computer for me!
Aluminum case with case modifications, an AMD XP 2.0 Ghz processor, a Ge-Force FX Video Card, 512 DDRAM, a DV burner and lots of other cool features! I'm in Techno-Indian heaven!
Due to work schedules, Wolfie and I have been both pretty exhausted and won't get much time together until around New Years. Still, I don't think I even want to try a Before/After about this Christmas because the list would be to long!
