happy holidays

this christmas seemed to have breezed by. i started shopping after thanksgiving and avoided shopping during the weekends. even with "free" weekends, i didn't start making my holiday cards till the last weekend before christmas! i was able to finish 50 cards and mailed them out by monday. i'm not sure why i am so laid back, or shall i say, "lazy" this year.... anyways, here's 2008 christmas cards:

oh, last weekend i also went to the christmas train at the irvine regional park. i DO NOT recommend it. the night was basically about waiting in line. we waited in line to get tickets; then we waited about an hour and a half for the 3-5 minute train ride to the so-called "santa's village." then we stood in line for another 30 minutes to take pictures with santa and finally waited about 15 minutes for the train back. i wished there were more things to see, but unfortunately there wasn't much. the christmas lights were not that impressive and to top it all off, it was freezing cold!!! here are some pix:

and the highlight of the night: heating lamps!!
