[Your card](http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a562/ChimeraPic/HogwatchCard_zps0a876d52.jpg), shamelessly stolen from _[Hogfather](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett's_Hogfather)_. I wish you all Peace on Earth and Good Will toward Sentient Primates and most non-parasitic terrestrial life forms. Take good care of yourselves over the holidays. That includes protecting yourself from well wishing or unwell wishing relatives. Or as they say in Hogfather, _“It’s supposed to be jolly, with mistletoe and holly… and other things ending in olly.”_ If you’re alone, grant yourself fellowship within and spend the time being nice to yourself. Set aside the cares of the world for at least one day. You’ll be happier for it. ---

Merry actual Christmas day, everyone. We got a dusting of snow across Minnesota yesterday morning. Big fluffly flakes as I walked into work. Kinda made it more Christmasy to me. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. ---

Merry Christmas to all! We also got our first snow Christmas Eve! Loved it! Birds in the oven, fire in the stove - life is grand indeed!
