Well, the presents are open, the wrapping paper tossed aside, and the kids are enjoying their new presents. Typical Christmas morning, well sort of. Its in the high 70's right now, so cold weather typical in Ohio is absent but not missed.
They shut off the water to our neighborhood for four hours today to connect a new subdivision. At first I thought that the people who run Nichada had lost their minds. Why would you turn off water from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Christmas morning in a community filled with a large percentage of people who will be celebrating Christmas. This appears to be the city's handiwork. Since Christmas is not an official holiday here, for most Thais this is just another day.
So, on to the loot report. The kids did pretty well, and seemed pleased with their haul. Jacob found a PSP, books, movies and video games under the tree this year. Nalin was the recipient of a new camera and iPod Shuffle, in addition to books and movies. A Vtech camera was the big score for Aleena, along with some books, movies and art supplies.
The jolly fat guy brought Tim some workout pants and tops. The gift for the entire family was a portable DVD player. Our last one mysteriously sprung legs and walked off.
I mentioned my present in yesterday's blog. The iTouch 16 is really nice. I bought the 1st generation ($219) instead of the second generation ($289), but its still really nice.
