No, we don't have kids and we haven't figured out how to get the cats to hold shovels yet, so I guess we're just being pie-eyed about the innate servitude of children. :)<BR/><BR/>It's probably a good thing because to me, that whole Osmond thing seems like a real money-maker of an idea. We're probably best suited to having animals who can't dial the phone for help when we force them to perform for us.<BR/><BR/>The Get Well card is really sweet, I imagine one of those erases the horror of weeks worth of barf. Or at least makes it worthwhile.<BR/><BR/>We're doing Chinese food with the folks for the Eve this year. Last year, we spent Christmas Day at Foxwoods Casino and it was great because we were all mesmerized by the blinking lights that occassionaly spit out quarters.

And it was always something nasty, like the stomach virus or the flu. Although, I think my flu turning into pneumonia was the most impressive. And now that I'm married, I've gotten food poisoning two Christmas' in a row from organic produce at my husband's families house. I'm very happy I can continue to keep the tradition my parents instilled in me alive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
