We also watched Christmas movies, made a Christmas playlist, scoured the malls for gifts for family and friends, helped Earle buy an iPod, made Christmas happen for a not so little girl we love, lost a table tennis match to my siblings, and held a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. marathon. It was indeed the most wonderful time of the year.
