Got up way too early, went for an espresso, slipped the barista a $20 for having to work, lit the fire, got the tree and lights and music going, heated up someone's special frosting drenched spare-tire-sized cinnamon roll, brought someone else coffee in bed, wrapped a few last presents, tuned into the Banff Yule Log channel, gave the dog double morning treat, turned Santa Klaus up VERY LOUD, sunk back into the sectional, ready for the mayhem to ensue.
​
Merry Christmas, friends.
