I didn't have much to say other than to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

And as I type this I realize that a lot of people have long standing traditions, Some of mine include watching Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer, Garfield's Christmas Special, Gremlins (it does take place on Christmas Eve after all), and of course watching A Christmas Story.

This is probably it for a while. Now you'll have to excuse me as I start a new tradition of having Christmas Eve at my house and by celebrating with Bar-B-Que.

I finally got my pictures of my October Florida vacation online. I added about 500 photos and they can be seen in the Florida 2007 Gallery. I also added some pictures to the XMAS 2007 gallery showing how I have decorated my house inside and out.

After making the above updates I realized I hadn't updated my Video page since I moved over to the portal format. I added some video of my wife's dog, London, to the collection. Since I have some time off between Christmas and New Year I am hoping to do another time-lapsish project to add to the collection as well.

The subject says it all. I hate this time of the year because the weather is getting colder, there is less daylight, and there is a never ending supply of leaves to clean-up in my yard. But at the same time I love it because Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas, and New Year's Day is just around the corner. However, because of such I am busy decorating, shopping, planning for parties, and dealing with the end of year push at work.

As such, it may take me longer than expected to get pictures from my recent trip and Halloween up online. Hopefully I can get some of it out of the way this weekend.
