This was really fun holiday for me.
I had a really great time at our office party in Austin on the 19th - we had secret santa presents and Threadgills catered turkey and stuffing and all the works lunch and lots of wine and beer. Afterwards, a few of us sat around at a bar that had just about everything to drink (Opal Devines) and had a delightful time talking and drinking.
Shortly thereafter I was back in Lubbock and my parents, my husband, and I celebrated the Winter Solstice with a pork crown roast (a wonderful invention) which was really tasty and opened our presents to each other.
Then my husband and I flew up to Boise Idaho and celebrate Christmas with his sister Bridgette, her husband and son and with Sean and Bridgette's mom, Michele. We stayed there for six days. We had many wonderful meals with leftovers that lasted for days. Opened many presents (although the ones we had shipped to them were stuck in Portland due to the crazy weather they had there) and played rummikub, uno, scrabble, "left, right, center" and Route 66 games. It was also very snowy there and very beautiful since they live on the outskirts, in the foothills, with their backdoor to the hills leading up to the mountains. Our travel was uneventful, which was unexpected.
For New Years eve, my husband andI were back in Lubbock recovered from the trip and enjoyed each others company with a bit of champagne and tapneades and bruschetes followed by steaks on New Years day.
I am really not ready to go back to work.

Ooh, your food sounds better than my new year's food which, I think was something like fish tacos and cheap oatmeal cookies from the dollar store. How do you rate so high?? :)
I'm not ready for a new year, although, if you think about it, it's really not a new year, it's just one day after the same old year.
(I'd never make it as a motivational speaker.)
