X-mess is over, now let the true season begin!

All the shopping, all the stress, spending what you don't have and missing out on the things that are truely important. I'm glad it's all over. Now, after Christmas evening, the quiet holiday time begins. It is a nice peaceful time between Christmas and New Years when the rush is over and the season can truely be enjoyed. It is a reflective time to look back on the year and to look forward to the future.

So after working my 6 to 2 shift on Sunday I got to go home to Christmas. I had no lives that morning but went around to breaking news. Then I worked with Bob. We shot a story where a family of a soldier in Iraq talked about Christmas without him. We presented them with a military greetings vhs copy of his greeting. I did some last minute shopping at HIV in Blue Springs -- getting some candy for our stockings. Then I came home, and Suyen and I loaded up our gifts and Tima and went to Debbies for Christmas eve. We had dinner, sat around and watched "It's a Wonderful Life" which Suyen has never seen, and then we opened a few gifts. Then we rushed to my parents. We hung out for a bit. I opened the espresso machine we bought ourselves for Christmas, and it works really great. Dad had 3 espresso's! Then we went to midnight mass at Redemptorist. It was really nice and they had a small orchestra this year with the chior. I had to try to keep Suyen awake through the mass.

Christmas day we woke up tired. We had breakfast and opened presents. The espresso machine that Suyen and I bought at RSO works great. We then watched "All the King's Men" and Mom fixed me a little Christmas dinner before I had to head out to woik.

At woik I was on vo patrol. I did Rob's liveshot, then I drove around and listened to the scanner. I was feeling tired around 9, so I stopped at the one place that was open, which was Grinders, and had a pepsi. I then had 6 hot wings -- the "wimpy" wings. They were good. Then the evening was over. No really big breaking news tonight. So I headed to my parents and had some Christmas dinner. Then Suyen and I loaded up with Tima, and we headed home.
