Well, Christmas #39 in the life of David Berlinguette has just become a done-deal. Overall, we had a good one this year, though low-key. I think one of the highlights was celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of Tito Romy and Tita Aurora on Sunday night (Dec 23rd). It was a nice evening, with a room rented out for the occasion at Anthony's Homeport down on Shilshole bay. I was especially surprised by the number of Aurora's coworkers from Fred Meyer who made it. I think they were expecting about 5-6, but got closer to 20. She's obviously well-liked.
On Christmas eve, I spent most of the day getting things together around the house. We then went over to Fred Meyer (popular theme in this post) for stocking stuffers and staples. Afterward, we went out for sushi and sukiyaki, following which we went home, drank some wine, and broke tradition by opening the gifts on Christmas eve rather than Christmas morning. I'm very happy with the little tri-pod I received, the electronic Karaoke, a hutch for the computer table, portable hard drive case, a book or two, and a generous gift from the parents toward something for the home. We scored! Leilani seems like she likes the Mac Mini. I know she'll love it once she gets it up and running. I'm sure of it.
Christmas day was spent baking tortiere in the earlier part of the day, and then off to Issaquah in the afternoon, where Lew and Charlene were hosting the gathering. I provided Dewayne with the gifts of a blown up framed photo of a flower I had taken, and a nice sweater from Macy's. In return, I got a copy of Guitar Hero 3, and a Tully's coffee card from Larry. We drove home in a wet snow storm, and chilled out for the remainder of the evening.
Now I'm back at work as if I never left. Good times. It's all about the GCI and Certuspact.
Best wishes for a Happy and healthy 2008!
