Did you know that if you decorate your Christmas tree with squids and octopuses and cuttlefish, like ours:

…that on Christmas Eve, you’ll be visited by Santa Squid?

We have our nets and harpoons and great big barrel of formaldehyde waiting by the fireplace, in hopes that the Tentacled One will stop by.

We’re also expecting all three of our kids to be here for Christmas dinner, which will be groovy. Right now, the house is resounding with the traditional sounds of Christmas, the gunfire and zombie growls of Black Ops on the home theater system.

Merry Christmas to all of you, too!
