I've been baking Christmas cookies, trying to get some Christmas shopping down and making the house look merry.  Some peeps are leaving the country in a couple weeks so we have lots to get done before that time.

Oh and the administrator should look for holiday icons ~ I could've used a Christmas one on my post.   ;)

PS - didn't get much for Christmas, other than some quality time with the fam, which is pretty much awesome all the time.  And a little cash, which is NEVER a bad thing.  

Also got some boarding in up at Lutsen a couple days before Christmas last week.  Dang was it awesome.  Basically blizzard conditions all day Tuesday.  Sunny and mild on Wednesday made for an incredible pow day.  Probably one of the best days of riding I've ever had, it was a blast.  Will try to put up some pics tomorrow while I'm home alone in the morning.

Got a nice blizzard on Thursday night as well, except the timing of this one was a little undesired.  Our 4.5-5 hour drive to SD quickly turned into almost 8 hours.  My back was destroyed from sitting in the car and driving like a maniac all the way there.  Got in just before 3 in the morning, and then went unconscious almost immediately after.

Only actual "present" I got was from my mom.  A homemade pair of pajama pants made from some gnarly old school looking material that I picked up at Saver's a couple years ago.  Been waiting on them from her for a while and had told her at Thanksgiving it'd be a sweet Christmas present.  Anywho, she whipped them up while we were there with some patterns she had lying around.  Inseam length +5"...  :lol:  :thumbs:

I've got a bad ass mailbox idea brewing.  Well, has been since last summer.  Just need some money to start building my prototype.  Then it's off to the big leagues!

I'll tell ya whenever we get reunited on a chairlift again.  Hopefully that's soon. 

Word on the street is it's supposed to be windy on Saturday, so I can only assume that means nasty up in Duluth.  We'll have to watch the weather closely the next couple days.
