Christmas letters: 7 down, ...some number more to go!  Maybe 30 is the number to aim for this year?  I have ~37 days left until Christmas anyways, I shouldn't push myself too hard and go for 40.  We'll see how it all turns out.

I actually feel like I am really gaining momentum with these xanga blog postings!  Don't mind doing more than one a day--that used to be common practice back in the xanga days anyway!  Maybe now that we're crossposting to G+, I just feel more compelled to use blogspot rather than a FB status update of some sort.  Which is...very nice, in a way.  Something about making an actual blog post as opposed to an ephemeral status update is just...satisfying.
