Wow. I’ve been away a little longer than expected.
Things I did during the holidays…
Made Christmas dinner for 20 people and lunch the next day for 14
Watched movies:
Eragon: A (if you haven’t read the book) B (if you have)
Over the Hedge: B+
Little Miss Sunshine: A (this was a surprisingly touching movie.)
Night at the Museum: B+
Talledega Nights: A (2nd viewing.)
Glory Road: A
Rumor Has it: B (2nd viewing.)
The Family Stone: C- (do NOT get me started on this movie. ugh It gets a C- because it was well acted and it was salvaged by Luke Wilson and SJP)
I’m pretty sure we saw other movies, but those are the ones I can remember.
Consumed copious amounts of alcohol.
Words written: donut hole
books read: 1
Trips planned: 1
Games played: Multiple
Fireworks shot: multiple
Football watched: lots. Damn those hogs.
Yup, that pretty much sums up my holdays. What about you?
Bitchin' Fiction: Musings by author Melissa McKenzie / Melissa Francis 
Football: Not sure, I’m still suffering from the overdoseBarret-Jackson car auction (2006 replay): 23.5 hours. Ugh.(Note: The Bob manages the remote control in our house.)Alchohol: 1 bottle cheap champagne, 1/2 bottle white merlotSleep: average of 10 hours per night…YES!

We had a great holiday here. I agree with you on Family Stone and Rumor Has It. I haven’t seen the other movies. But Family Stone was just not the way I thought it would be…:( ~Marly

What games did you play? I’m in the market for some good, fun, addictive games. I’m thinking fondue pots and board games are the way to survive this winter!!Little Miss SUnshine is one of my top views of ’06. Loved it from the moment I saw the trailer and the kid’s screaming on the phone and jumping up and down with such joy.
