Although Norio has to work off and on today we did manage to have a nice, festive morning opening gifts, listening to Christmas music and breakfasting on homemade cinnamon-apple oatmeal. Yum.

This bottle of wine came from a vendor we use at work. I can't wait to pop the Poppy!
This was the box my mother sent her gift inside. Should I be worried? We don't have moles.

This panettone goes on sale at Gelson's every holiday season, and it's absolutely yummy. I sent boxes of it back home to some family members who said they liked it as well.

Norio donned two of his gifts, a golden jacket from American Apparel and a red throw that he decided would make a nice scarf.

This was our "before" picture of the tree.
