Christmas in California

In order to take best advantage of the Christmas season, we decided to celebrate twice. Our first Christmas occurred on the 18th, and it fortunately turned out much better than Modern Family's Express Christmas. We feasted and opened presents and sang carols and watched several ridiculous Christmas specials. Thanks to Paul's brother Alan for coming up with the idea of an early Christmas, and thanks to Paul's sister Laurie for providing the Christmas jell-o. Thanks to both for living in California and for bringing cousins to make the evening complete.
