Merry Xmas & Happy Happy Joy Joy to All

First time I've woken up to an empty (just me in the) house on x-mas in 50 years. Feeling fine though b'c I've got plans to meet up w/fambily at the Petting Zoo in just a few hours. As per a sometimes fambily tradition (which I'm introducing to some of my locals today), we'll get together on x-mas day for Chinese food and movies. Huzzah!
