Yule 2012
Yuletide 2012 passed pleasantly. We had a big dinner of home-made chicken Kiev, a favorite of the boys. And then it was time for the ritual in which we welcomed back the God and the light. Mother Berchta arrived and announced that the presents were hidden in the magic chest in the living room (the cedar chest we use as a coffee table). Maksim and Aran opened it up to see it filled with brightly wrapped packages and a rose on top to remind us that spring is always on its way.
Aran got a new dress shirt and a video game and the Three Stooges movie. Maksim got a plastic, western-style shooting range toy (bought before the CT shooting, and I still don't know if I would get it for him again or not), a very soft blanket, and an Angry Birds shirt. I got the way cool leather wristband (picture on Twitter) and a set of ear buds.
Then it was family time and much snacking and playing with toys, which is what Yuletide is for!
