Another Christmas has come and gone.
Here’s my Macbook, finally complete in its two-monitor configuration (surrounded by reassuring clutter.) The wide screen monitor is certainly a wonderful improvement over old 4:30 resolution monitors. The wide screen is great for programming, video editing or just watching videos. I’m surprised that 4:3 monitors survived as long as they have.
Despite being up late Christmas Eve, I woke before James and Michelle. James woke up first, but really didn’t really understand the enormity of the day, but I knew that Michelle understood was very excited when she went to bed. I took my camera and waited patiently for her to wake up. My goal was to capture that first instant when her eyes would open wide and see the tree with all the presents beneath it.
I got bored after a while, so I told James to go knock on his sister’s door, which he did. Soon thereafter, Michelle was up and came slowly into the room. She walked right past the Christmas tree and completely ignored it. I guess next year we’ll have to put lights on the tree after she goes to bed so I can get my photo op.
Despite their initial indifference, both kids got lots of presents, all of which seemed well-received. We’ll see in a few days which ones fall by the wayside.
