I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  Mine was quite good.  I attended an emotional Christmas Eve service (well, it was emotional for me), where it occurred to me that it was my first as 'Leann'.  We sang allot of carols, and I've always loved singing Christmas carols, so I got a bit teary eyed a few times. 

On Christmas day I got together with family, and we had a great turnout with 17 of us celebrating together.  The most special part of the day, was getting down the stocking that Santa (aka Mom) still puts up for all her kids & their significant others.  She uses one color combination for boys and another for girls.  When I remembered to go check my stocking, my initial thought was, 'Oh, I'm sure that didn't change on my old stocking', but to my surprise, there was a 'girls' stocking with individually stitched letters on it that spelled out 'Leann'.  It was so nice to see that!

I'll probably spend New Year's with some friends, and maybe have them over for board games & movies or something like that.  I'm looking forward to an awesome 2008.  I wish all of you the same!
