Christmas, etc.

So I woke up at 4 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. What a wonderful way to be welcomed back to the daily grind. Haha. I'm feeling ok for now, but I will crash sometime soon. I hope my boss doesn't mind. :)

Overall, Christmas was good. Here are some highlights:

• Hanging out with my brother and his fiance that live in Chicago.
• Lots of downtime with the family.
• Time off from work.
• Watching movies - including Four Christmases (one of my new favorites) and Christmas Vacation - arguably the best movie ever made.
• Serving Chimmi Changas at my dad's Christmas Eve gathering.  They were the hit of the party.  Again!
• Hanging out with an old friend.
• Eating lots of yummy food. Too much yummy food.
• Leftovers.

I do have to say though, that it was hard for me to remember Christ this season. Maybe it is because I've been feeling distant from the Lord, or maybe it is because I get caught up in the people and business of the season. I am, once again, reminded of my sinful nature and how much I do need a savior...even if I don't always feel connected to Him.
