Yay!!

Once Punkinhead stopped believing in Santa, Christmas for me became a holiday about family and food. The traditional meals, dishes, and cookies  prepared for an hilarious family get-together was the most important part of the celebration for me. The gifts are fun to get, but it's always been more fun to see what everyone else receives.
However, this year I got a new laptop to replace the ancient Toshiba that had been limping along on its last byte. In order to just write a blog post, the old computer usually required at least one reboot and a good 15 minutes of time to just load the link(s). I hope you all appreciated every last one of those links! :^)
This machine is so startlingly fast, comparatively speaking, that I can't stop feeling giddy every time I click on anything. It's been a really long time since I've been giddy at Christmas. I like it.
So, while Christmas is still about sharing food and laughter with family, this year it's also about a really cool present for me!! And being giddy.
