Christmastime in Pocatello

What are the odds of this trucker name? Yeah, they are both common names, but also the names of Curtis and his brother. Okay, now I'm thinking this isn't AS cool as I thought it was when I first saw it, oh well.

It's been years, probably closer to a decade, since our house has been decorated for Christmas. Although we didn't go all out Griswald, we did put up a tree and a few bows. I'll admit, it felt much more festive - maybe that's why I never get in the holiday spirit - because you have to create it yourself?

Like every year, the Guidinger Christmas Party was a blast. They are some of the funnest people we know, very generous, very gracious, and their party always promises laughing your ass off.

Christmas dinner for 10 - with 3 present. Can't get better than that. Except for being lazy - playing Wii, reading a book or chilling with the pooch.

All in all, we've had a very relaxing, lazy visit back home. Lots of movies, shoveling and being bums. Wonderful way to cap off a spectacular year.

Here's to New Year's resolutions...
