Christmas was very nice. We opened presents here at home, and then Mer and I headed to my mom's place while James went to R&T's. At Mom's I re-discovered my love of ham. Truly a heavenly food. Must stop by her place and eat leftovers... We watched Jesus Christ Superstar, which I had never seen before and was a little perplexed by. Later on Mer and I joined James at R&T's. Richard made eggnog. Lots of people don't like eggnog, I know, and I think that's because they only ever taste the uber-thick store bought stuff. Richard's eggnog is the best I've ever had. It's thinner and frothy, and he never makes enough of it. Guh. I <3 it.
Anyhoo, between all the various families, Meredith got an obscene haul of gifts. I won't list them. It's that bad.
I did pretty well, too. I am no longer using a filing cabinet as a desk, and I have a chair that does not fold, so I'm pretty darned happy. I also received some gift cards for iTunes and clothes, a very nice juicer, slippers, and various other little things.
And now, because I'm on vacation and don't feel like doing anything remotely worthwhile, I give you all a new LYRIC MEME. It's been awhile since I've done one of these. I think most of the songs are pretty easy.

30. *glares at it in the hopes of frightening it into submission* I think it's an Indigo Girls song, but I don't remember which one.
31. Psst. Your
sliphtml is showing!35. I want to say that it's the Bells of St. Someone's - Mark's? Paul's? James? - but I'm totally pulling that out of thin air.
38. Dur. How about Holiday?
...Aaaaaand I'm pretty sure that's all.
From:

30. It is the Indigo Girls, and that, at this point, is good enough. Love's Recovery is the song title.
31. Gasp! Do you think anyone else noticed?
35. The Bells of St. Nemo's by Dave Camlin. Good guessing.
38. Yes, Holiday it is.
