Ok so last monday i wrote up a blog stating how I was on a mission to start blogging twice a week, well fail on that. However I am blogging a week later and the end of last week was Christmas, so i think i can forgive myself. 

So both of us The Single Malt Versus hosts are on vacation yet 1/2 of us are in Hawaii. Devin is one lucky bastard and I hope a sea turtle eats him. 

I, despite not being in a tropical paradise, have enjoyed my vacation thus far. Ive read Something Missing  

and am torn about which book to conquer next.

I've been playing Zelda: Spirit Tracks, FF8, and various boardgames. 

The main thing that I've loved this Christmas though is being with family and friends. Not to get all mushy but being around with family and friends is what its all about. No amount of presents can take away the joy of letting your parents cheat at a game of Sorry. Baking pumpkin bread with your wife. Going with your family to go eat at a great restaurant. I think that sometimes in the consumerism of the Holidays we forget that. So for the people that have a few days vacation left, stop going to the mall and buying crap, turn off the stupid sports game on your fancy LCD TV, stop twittering and actually talk to the family member that you least talk to. You'll be surprised what new things you'll learn and the fun times that can be had.
