Christmas in Liberia.

First up, ripping open the presents.  

 Confusing the Mrs with my eclectic movie gift selection.

 Quite the haul.  Thank the heavens for modern capitalism, consumerism and the expression of affection via purchasing power.

 The Mrs shows off all her new bling.

 Strike a pose.  [Or two.]  Vogue.

 Obligatory Xmas day viewing of A Christmas Story.  You will, actually, shoot your eye out.

Little known fact, when the wife went into government work, the world lost one of its finest turkey wrestlers.

 We did the math, and this is actually the first turkey we've cooked up in a full size Western style oven in 11 years.  Living in Japan and visits home to the parents when in the US...  crazy long time since we've done this.  Who'd have figured Liberia?

 How awesome does this look, I ask you?

The full spread.  

 Glorious.

 The chef and her good works.

 Manly carving is manly.

 The place of eating is prepared.

 Obligatory annual watching of While You Were Sleeping.

 C'mon, you know that looks awesome.

  We call this "sense of accomplishment."

 Sandy loves her some pumpkin pie.

 Leftover Aftermath.  See you next year.
