Christmas in Retrospect

This Christmas was nice, and fairly uneventful. Nicholas and I headed home on December 21^st after completing our finals. I was so ready to go home and relax! We arrived home, and Nathan, Tegan, and family followed us a day or two later. It was lots of fun getting to spend time with everyone, minus the bought of stomach flu that was shared among us, and then with Aimee, Peter, and Megan when they arrived on the 27^th. Everyone took a turn being sick, and only three of us were lucky enough to escape the vomiting. While the Christmas festivities were somewhat disrupted by illness, and some traditions were put-off until everyone was feeling somewhat better, Santa still managed to make his presence, or should I say, presents, known.
