This is the first time in a long while where I'll actually be home for Christmas. I think Cali's old enough now to appreciate it, so I'm looking forward to watching her face light up as we help her tear open her gifts. If I know my sister, she'll probably get excited just playing with the wrapping paper.

As far as I know I'll be in Belfast until January, which means I'll also be home for New Years. I was in Bulgaria last year, so I'm going to need some suggestions on how to welcome 1985.
