Merry Christmas to everyone on the Flist that celebrates it. We're having a very quiet holiday here at home. In part, because my Dad has to work today (He does customer service for Sprint, and apparently Christmas is a huge call volume day because a lot of people give phones for Christmas), but also because Mom and I both have the cold from hell.
