'Tis been a busy day, but I thought I'd take a moment to say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Feliz Navidad to everyone out there. I was fortunate for all of the gifts I've received, but also fortunate to have the blessings of a hale and hearty family, the blessings of many wonderful friends, and all of you my watchers for art and not-art. May the tidings of the season be on you.

As for me, I'm going to be messing around tomorrow with the new ice cream maker my brother gave me. I also spent the last four hours watching the Extended Edition of the Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring with... my mom. She apparently hadn't seen The Lord of the Rings, and always wanted to, so tomorrow's the Two Towers, and Friday's the Return of the King. A Merry Tolkien Christmas, indeed. :D
