Finally posting some Christmas-related photos!

Tomorrow at work we start something called a Cutover Dress Rehearsal. Basically, at the end of March we have a HUGE implementation of a bunch of changes across a bunch of different IT systems that all have to happen, coordinated, over the same weekend. Starting tomorrow, we're doing a practice run-through with some non-production systems.

I'm the project manager of one of the projects (that is, obviously, web-related), so I have to work some weird hours.

In order to prepare myself for these weird hours, I decided to do pretty much nothing all weekend long other than watch TV shows on Netflix. At least, that's the excuse I'm going with.

Oh, and today is Valentine's Day, which, I'm sure I've mentioned before, that John and I don't really celebrate, but I did recently buy him cookies from Doubletree. Whenever we decided to get away and spend the night in a hotel somewhere, our first choice is always Doubletree because of the COOKIES. Oh, the cookies! Turns out, you can buy them online and have them SHIPPED TO YOUR HOUSE. Much cheaper than a hotel room.

Anyway, let's jump back in time to a different holiday-time: Christmas! Before the actual holiday, John and I went down to his hometown in order to go to an Ugly Sweater party. I didn't have time to find an ugly sweater, and I was one of the few who didn't do anything, but it was pretty fun seeing what everyone else was wearing, and enjoying their Christmas decorations.

Red and swirly
I like how you can see John's reflection in this one


Candy cane shot "glasses"
These aren't shot glasses that look like candy canes, no, they are actually candy!


Big shiny red ball!


Bokeh Tree
This is actually my tree. It's not really Christmas unless I take a bokeh tree photo...


Bokeh Tree
Or two


Christmas stuffs
(back to the party, I didn't put ornaments on my tree, if I had, that wouldn't have looked this nice and coordinated)


Ornament in the tree


Pencil Holder
Nothing says Christmas like... a macro photo of a pencil holder?


Smart Yoshi is Smart
Smart Yoshi is SMART!


Some of my best friends are flakes
Soem of my best friends are flakes. One of the few winter decorations I sometimes get out.


John in a hat.
I got John this hat as Christmas present. Yes, the EXIF says this photo was taken on Dec 21. We're not good at waiting to give each other gifts.


Yoshi in a hat
Yosh tried it on, too.
