Still Here . . .
Well, believe it or not - the little people here at Procrastination Station are still alive. Christmas exploded into our no-space-having, I-want-that-even-though-I-don't-really-need-it lives just two days ago and already I'm starting to grow a tad bit tired of hearing "Grandma Got Runover by A Reindeer". Why the heck wasn't Santa watching where he was going anyway? I like Grandmas . . . come to think of it . . . who doesn't?
I digress.
I am typing this as I sit among the stacks of thrashed wrapping paper and partially picked-over chocolate variety packs in the downstairs living room of my childhood home nestled quaintly in a leaf-covered street somewhere in the wonderful state of Texas. Isn't Christmas great that way? I personally think Linus was dead on, but just slightly below that beautiful sentiment . . . Christmas is probably also all about Family.
Family - (n.) That belovedly interesting, if not slightly strange accumulation of people that you look forward to seeing each chance you get, even though everyone involved manages to drive each other just a lil' bit crazy sometimes.
(Don't blame me - that's Ole' Mr. Webster speaking there. Look it up.)
Truly, enjoying time with your family is the most important part of the Holiday Season, no matter what holiday you choose to celebrate. So, we here at The Station wanted to send out wishes of many happy family times for all during this holiday season.

Getting together with family and friends is the best part of all this, far outweighing the commercial piggery ... good wishes to you and your crew down there on the road in Texas.
Being with family on Christmas is the best! Have fun while in Texas.
Awww Ben, your so sweet. I bet your family is a hoot. Glad your enjoying the holidays, hope you and yours have a happy and prosperous new year!
Actually, I'd say the assorted chocolates is my hightlight of the holiday, but that's because my family gets to drive me nuts 24/7, 364.
Whelp...family or no family...I've been having a blast! I love this time of the year! :)

Good to hear from you Ben! I, myself, had to drag myself away from dismantling my Christmas decor to post today. I hate Christmas crap around the house after Christmas. Pet peeve.
Truly, enjoying time with your family is the most important part of the Holiday Season, no matter what holiday you choose to celebrate.
Right on here. Hope your holidays went well.
Aaaw! Ben's gone all warm & fuzzy on us ;-)
Glad you're happy - enjoy!
Wow. Good definition of family. Thanks for your visit!
And YES, it feels SO GOOD to be HOME.
Be well. Kiss the mountains for me ...

Happy New Years! The time to something so stupid that the rest of the year will seem a breeze.
Nice definition of Family. And I agree with you although I wouldn't mind a break from my Mother. ;-)
