Sandy is both excited and confounded by presents and wrapping. Look at that concentration.

Sandy's other present. Seriously, she likes it when I grow it out. I'd just as soon keep it shaved down. Yes, that actually does count as an Xmas present.

But my friends take care of me for the holidays...
Including one young lady who won't quit till I one day accept Jesus. Poor girl :)

The best part? Due to the vagaries and fluctuations of international shipping, I'm gonna have a whole second part to my Xmas when the rest of my presents show up on our doorstep.
Till then, happy holidays to you. And you. And you.
