December in a Nutshell
Paid a visit down South on the weekend of the 12th. I stayed at Ms. Claudia's house the first night and Ms. Shirley's on the second night. Plenty of video games and presents abound along with assisting Ms. Shirley in the assemblage of her artificial tree. A bit hectic in decided where to eat dinner, but it was a rather tasty dinner (two way split with Shannon and Shirley which resulted in a delightful assortment of BBQ ribs, chicken, mashed potatoes, beans, shrimp, and a few other things) at T.G.I. Fridays (we don't have a Friday's in "Hell", at least not yet).
Went to some mall (I guess it's Ontario Mill, the hell I remember names anymore) near Claudia's that Saturday which was quite fun since it's been ages since I was last there. Later went to see Princess and the Frog with Shirley, Shannon, Cindy, and Tommy in the evening (twas a verry good movie if you love Disney's stuff from the 90s).
Spent Sunday morning watching Paprika and The Last Unicorn with Shirley.

Went to Knott's Berry Farm the weekend after. It's been ages since I've been there too. We didn't do much beyond watch the ice show, have lunch, and walk around but it was still pretty fun to see what's changed.

Christmas went okay, no major conflicts or problems. Got plenty of gift cards (which I should probably spend soon or else I'll forget them).
