One More Blast of Merry

As I am still working to get all of the Christmas decor wrapped up and back into storage for the year (and hopefully in an organized fashion so my future self does not curse the post-holiday laziness of my current self), it seems only appropriate to include one last blast of merriment from this year's celebrations. After all, the tree is still up and glowing (I'm working on it...really...one or two more days...three tops...), so here's the wrap-up of the post-Christmas, Christmas celebration with the rest of the family.
