Holiday DogWhew, everyone! We made it through the holidays. (Well, New Year’s isn’t over yet, but at least that one doesn’t involve shopping for presents or a stomach-stretching feast.) I’m pleased to say that we managed to construct our Tio Nadal in time for Xmas, and he’s even acquired a pair of sunglasses in the past couple of days, so I guess he’s now a Cool Log. As far as cute, low-maintenance pets go, it’s hard to beat a log with a jolly face painted on.

Holiday truce notwithstanding, I got a pretty big haul of presents under the tree… but only one of them was a book! Strange but true: I almost never receive books as gifts, presumably because people think I’ve already read all the books. (Definitely not true.) Still, that’s an excuse for going on my own post-holiday book-buying spree, so I’m not complaining.

How was your holiday? Did you manage to snag one of those delightful christmas hampers? Did you get everything you wanted and eat way more cookies and candy than you should have? Tell us about your favorite gift—or your least favorite, if you dare!
