I’ll be at home with my wife and kids on the big day itself; my parents, sisters and their families are coming up on Dec. 26 (Boxing Day) so we can celebrate together, too. Hope you all have a wonderful day, as well!

Thank you, **Elendil’s Heir**! As your basic Animist, I love a good feast day. Or three.
