Afterward, we headed over to Brother Robert's house for food and the traditional gift exchange. It was great to see everyone again, and we had a great time. Here are some pictures from the gift exchange.

Then, we celebrated Christmas Day with Christy's parents. We started by exchanging gifts, but then the focus quickly turned to food. While we didn't have Christmas Dinner, Christy and Jeri were busy in the kitchen most of the day with other goodies - pie and cookies, of course! We then had a nice steak dinner that Okey and I enjoyed with a glass of red wine. Here are a couple of pictures from Christmas morning.
I've also reviewed a couple of Vine items over the break. Check out my write ups on Ethics for the Real World and Back to Nature's Summer Berry Blend Cereal. I used to think that food items would be difficult to review, but they are actually pretty easy. I've got quite a backlog of books going so look for a few more reviews to come in the weeks ahead. In addition, I've written up a couple of folk CDs as well. Check out Ingrid Michaelson's CD Girls And Boys and Melody Gardot's CD Worrisome Heart. They are quite different, but I liked them both.
In other news, I am now on Facebook as you may notice by the link to the right. It's a social networking site more focused on quick updates and keeping in touch than the longer posts that you will see on Philip's Corner. I plan to keep both active so don't feel obligated to register for Facebook if that is not your thing.
Until next time...
