Unaccustomed As I Am to Bragging

Aside from something coming in the mail (or shipped, I don't know which), as of 1600 (4 PM) yesterday afternoon, I have finished my Christmas shopping for this year. A feat I have never in my life of seventy-three years of life on earth previously accomplished.

I'll pause to let that achievement sink in. 

Thank you. 

My gift wrapping is nearly this good. Nearly.

Okay, I only shopped for our children, their spouses, and my wife. 

I should advise them all in advance that I wrapped their gifts myself. I've become quite adept at this gift-wrapping thing after a crash course at the North Pole under the tutelage of the Jolly Old Elf Hisself.

I'm bracing for an outpouring of gratitude later this month. Bruce is right; it's hard to be a saint in the city.
