Christmas was a very busy day and very rewarding. Jacob & Julee were over on Christmas Eve along with my mother. Andrea & Vance had been with us for a couple day already. I'm pretty sure they were excited to see mommy & daddy again.
After attending 6pm Mass we went home and had dinner. Hung stockings and drank egg nog. Good times. I was very happy to finally fall asleep.
Next thing I know is that I'm being woken up with, "We got a letter from Santa!" Andrea was very excited that Santa took the time to thank her & Vance for the cookies, and the carrots for the reindeer.
I did many dishes, and vacuumed much carpet. Back at work now and wishing for more sleep.

Game of Week
Many months ago I pre-ordered a copy of Star Wars the Old Republic, which henceforth will be known as SWTOR. It's an MMO with controls very similar to that of World of Warcraft. And it now owns my gaming hours. I'm happy about this.
Many MMOs have come out since WoW, but few have managed to make me believe that I'd still be playing them after the "free" 30 days was up. SWTOR not only makes me want to like it, it makes me like it. It makes me want to play it.
What is so great about the game? It's the story, stupid. I kid, chances are you aren't stupid. But the story part is accurate. The games makes you the focus of the story no matter what class you're playing. The cut scenes are engaging, especially when you're teamed with another player, each rolling to see whose dialogue will be displayed and spoken.
I haven't maxed out a character yet. Been enjoying the story. I also switched servers, at least temporarily, in order to avoid a really long queue that would take about one and half hours to wait through. If you're a MMO player you should give the game a chance. It's been worth it for me.
