So my trip back from Shanghai was uneventful.  The flight was nice, but I don't think the chairs were as comfortable as they should have been for the price.  Or maybe it was the "Brutal" massage I had the day before that might have been causing the problems.  I got home with som many bruises that it looked like I was beaten up in Shanghai.. I think maybe in a way I was.  My back is still bruised. 

 

So here we are only a couple of days from Christmas and I have not purchased what I need to for the wife.  I have a pretty comprehensive list of which I spent 3 hours yesterday with my two older girls buying just 1 thing off of the list.  Oh well, hopefully today it will go much quicker.

 

The new house is looking very cute.  We are in the hosting mode.  Already hosted 3 parties since moving in and have a few more before the end of the year.

 

Gabi's Birthday is coming up, I feel bad for her having it within a week of Christmas. We are trying to make it a big seperation and having a birthday party with friends.  Hopefully they will be able to make it.

 

Well, I hope you all have a MERRY Christmas(sad many people are stopping to use this term and switching it with Happy Holidays).. oh well for me it will always be Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
