The Christmas tree is up (albeit the smaller one) and the presents are spread underneath. Elvis is crooning "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and the wife just brought me an eggnog with some of Mr. Daniels' best. The Christmas season usually starts early at the Ray household but we're still a week ahead of schedule. The tree and decorations traditionally come out the day after Thanksgiving but her nephew is in town with his young son and they won't be back for Christmas so we're celebrating early with the only child in the family.
I've been working late since the purchase by Knology so we missed the family gathering at one of the local greasy spoons. My in-laws love the local cuisine but we usually pass on it anyhow. My wife's cousin from Texas is also here for a brief time. I'm not sure if his significant other is with him this time but they seem like a fun pair. Hopefully, we'll have enough energy to socialize before everyone heads home.
