Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas, and it is freezing here. "Here" as in in my room, where I'm currently underneath a comforter trying to find the motivation to leave the cocoon of warmth and tidy a bit before we head out to the fams for some old fashioned holiday time-wasting. I went to late night mass over at St. Barts last night (funny moment: startling a grey mouse out from behind the kneeling cushions during the Eucharistic blessing) and walked past the craziness at St. Patricks then through Rockefeller Center (funny comment: as this hard-looking dude turned the corner - "Damn, that's a big tree.") on my way to the subway station. Then hung around eating to excess (fresh baked ham and wheat bread! cheese! trays of cheese! and fruit! oh my) with the bros before staggering to bed. Which would be why I didn't wake up until nearly 11am.

Gah. Need to get up and clean and get ready to go. Hope everyone's warm and in the company of those they love and love them in return.
