I had a comfortable Christmas with Colin and Marissa. It was a time to relax and enjoy the day with little of the normal rushing around that this time of year usually brings. Just kept it a low key celebration.

Marissa insisted on me fixing a ham for Christmas Eve, so I just got a small one. After returning from 4:00 Mass here in Dover at St. Joseph, Colin, Marissa, and I came back here and I started in on peeling potatoes and all that while they went out to do some last minute shopping and get some videos. We watched Hitch as Colin hadn't seen that before and Marissa and I howled all the way through just like it was our first time.

Christmas day, Colin came over about 8:30am and Marissa made us bacon and eggs. We opened our presents and then they headed out around 11:00am. I spent the rest of the day just enjoying the quite of the day and worked some on my current programming project that I have been building since early November. I couldn't resist and had leftover ham for dinner!
