The short story

Everybody is home safely! YEAH. Now the real holidays begin.
Only one small glitch yesterday, about a one hour delay at the border.
Really, the true border crossing only took about 15 minutes. It was the almost at the border, turn around to retrieve a forgotten passport. Well not really forgotten, just a sleep deprived – stress released – distracted moment of looking at the passport, but not actually putting it into any purse or bag that would be travelling south.

Everybody remembers the early morning wake-up on Christmas, running to the tree to see what Santa left. And then trying to convince the parents that it is time to get up. (My earliest memory is a 4:30 AM wake-up.) With all of the time changes, wierd sleep patterns and general holiday nuttiness this year, it should be interesting to see what time our family actually runs meanders to the tree this year.
