On Christmas Eve day, we bummed around most of the day (and Eric happily commented on the fact that his coworkers were at work while he was at home!). We then went to carols and "midnight" Mass at the Chapel, which was pleasantly not too crowded.
When we woke up on Christmas morning, we were glad to see that we both made the nice list this year (amazing, I know). Santa was very good to both of us, and he even left some goodies for Peanut! Peanut found his bag right away, and stuck his head in to see what he got. But he wasn't sure if he was allowed to take it or not, so he quickly sat next to the bag, gave us big puppy eyes, and let out a big whine ("Can I get it? Can I? Can I?"). Once we gave him the okay, he took off down the hallway with his new bone, and we didn't see him for quite awhile!
On Friday, Kim went to an office party while Eric opted to stay home and watch scary movies. Then on Saturday, we met up with one of Eric's friends and his wife for dinner at the Hofbrauhaus, followed by lights at the zoo. The zoo lights were pretty amazing -- the entire zoo was lit up with LED lights, decorations, hot chocolate vendors, and a giant Christmas tree. Plus we got to see reindeer (they must have stopped at the zoo to rest after their trip around the world) a bunch of the nocturnal animals who are normally asleep during the day.
Current gas price: $1.51/gallon.
