Christmas break, which is closer than you think

So, it seems to me that I ought to warn you all, I'm coming home this year (yay!) and dragging my Irishman with me. Get-togethers shall ensue, I hope. Depends how many people will be living in my house over vacation...I have lots of cousins. But I'm back from Dec. 11 to Dec. 30, so come find me. Hit me with things if I forget to call- I need to be properly trained.
