Christmas Eve

On this day in 2010: 

Oysters on the half shell

 Learning new vocabulary with Dad while he shucks the oysters

Emergency run to Wal-Mart to get seed for the bird feeders (OMG, bad idea)

Lobster stew... with buttermilk biscuits, salad and pecan pie



The kids open one present - cozy new pajamas and a book for each

Two phone calls between here and Brigham & Women's

Tracking Santa on Norad even though we started putting air quotes around "Santa" three years ago

Watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

The next-to-last bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau

Putting all the presents under the tree

Trying to identify contents of said presents

Reading new books in new pajamas by the fire

Stockings hung by the chimney with care

Leaving out a gin and tonic for "Santa"

And to all, a good night.
