How I am spending my Christmas vacation: I am having a blast!
Sleeping til 7:30 (three hours more sleep than usual), making my own coffee and drinking it by the light of my two Christmas trees. Having whatever I want for breakfast, sometimes going to my fave cafe for lunch and eating at a table all by myself.
Monday I took my rolling pin to bake with family in Santa Clara as we have been doing for the past two years - I guess this qualifies as a tradition. Yesterday, I baked 78 gingerbread boys and decorated them with my niece, ex-sil, and nephew's girlfriend - a five year tradition. This Sunday, I'm taking my rolling pin to Milpitas to make gingerbread boys with another branch of the family.
I could get used to this.
What's better than spending time, quality time, with family, especially the younger generation and building a legacy? My legacy is baking memories with the ones I love the most. It just doesn't get any better than that. It just doesn't.
P.S. I said Merry Christmas to the Salvation Army bell ringer and they said Merry Christmas back, not that crappy Happy Holidays . . . there's hope afterall.

So, my question is: just how far (specifically, how far east) are you and your rolling pin willing to travel? Reading your post has made me hungry.
Hi Jim,
Good to hear from you again. In your case, since I don't fly, you'll have to come here. The furthest east I've gone is Las Vegas, to my sister's house.
Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
