Ho-ho-hope your holidays are bright

There's nothing like a little bit of Christmas arm wrestling, . . . 

 . . . especially if you're getting strong enough that your uncle, a house builder and all-around strong-as-an-ox guy, shakes his arm after whomping you and says, "whew! that's getting tough!", and your aunt in reindeer antlers takes a photo.




Although opening presents with a dad/grandpa who's dressed in his Santa hat, and who likes his Alice in Wonderland as illustrated by Salvador Dali so much that he forgets about other presents around him --- well, that's pretty sweet, too.

Here's hoping your holidays brought you memories that you will continue to treasure.
