It is not quite Christmas yet. But, I have a lot to be thankful for this year. The next several days will produce plenty of presents and road trips. This past weekend, my wife, son, and I celebrated Christmas with my in-laws.

Friends who "know" me know I am... odd. Thus far, I received an air-hockey table, SpongeBob Squarepants (3 DVD set) Season 1, Simpsons Christmas ornament, Simpsons themed "Battle of the Sexes", and Simpsons themed "Clue". Yes, I mark out big time for cartoons.

There is really nothing material in the world that I "need". I have everything I need. If I need something, I will buy it. So, Christmas ends up being all about little knick-knack-odds-and-ends items.

My in-laws rawk!
