We spent a week in Texas in mid-December, enjoying the long drives from point A to point B, the wide aisles in all the stores, and of course the special time with family and friends. Back in San Francisco for the actual Christmas holiday, the three of us celebrated a memorable, and relaxing, Christmas Eve and morning. We hope your holiday was lovely as well! -- Jenni and Joe

Santa was great, before sitting on his lap became part of the deal. Grandma and Grandpa and all the Christmas lights in Cleburne.
