The Day After Christmas

'Twas the day after Christmas, and all around here,
It looked as if everyone had enjoyed the good cheer.

The day after is a weird sort of day. It feels like it should be a holiday, but it really isn't, at least in the USA. In our household it is the day to put away as much of the holiday trimmings as you can and getting ready to host the annual New Year's breakfast over at the ward meetinghouse. Accordingly, there are boxes all around in various states of being filled and various Christmas lights and decorations waiting to be sorted and boxed.

The day after Christmas is a time for working on the presents you got that require some assembly. You might have started on them on Christmas day but with everything going on around you, some of the just had to wait.

And finally, its a time to contact people who sent you a Christmas card out of the blue when you haven't heard from them in 20 years. Or, a time to realize that you never got around to sending out your letter even to the people who faithfully read your blog. Click HERE to get your very own copy of our Christmas letter this year.

Now let's everyone get back to work and get ready for 2009!
