Oh and my brother-in-law got a new job which starts the Monday after New Year's, he's been doing temp seasonal work since October when the place he worked at for 15 years started downsizing, i.e., letting go all the more highly paid longtime employees. Hearing him rewrite every other holiday song to include the phrase "I got a job, fa la la la la" made everything super-special this year. :)

And apparently I also got a new avatar.
