>My sister lives 2.5 hours from Aspen. They spent a couple of days in Aspen for Christmas and she ran into Mariah Carey, Seal, Melanie Griffith, Antonia Banderas, and Nicollette Sheridan all in the local shops. 30F for a high! Thank goodness I live in NC... :o)

Our place has become a magnet for the holidays for friends and family. Especially with our two year old. Much more work for my wife, than me, as much as I try to help out. It certainly makes a house feel like a home to have everyone over. For Xmas and Boxing Day it was our place, then tomorrow a 5 hour drive to my parents a few days. More Xmasy up at there place with all the snow.

Santa was very good to me this year http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&sku=320-5205
