Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I'd just like to apologize for not posting for a few weeks -- had I realized just how busy this Christmas season was going to be, I would have waited a few weeks before swinging in on so many threads. :)

As it seems rather pointless to make a thread just to tell everyone how crazy it's been at my house, I'd like to ask everyone what the highlight of Christmas vacation has been.

Mine was either Christmas morning (I've always loved watching my siblings open the presents I've given them), or my Christmas recital. It was my first recital since I was ten years old, and I played one of the most complicated songs I've ever learned. I'm incredibly proud to say I didn't falter once -- even when I messed up so completely that I had to make up the next part to cover it. My teacher even told me that she didn't even notice, and she's been working with me on it for three months!

So, tell me -- what's been the best part of Christmas this year?
