Christmas Eve 2009

Good morning, everyone, it's 8:13am. Happy Christmas Eve to all! Today should be a good day, considering Christmas is tomorrow. I hope all of you are spending this day with your loved ones and are happy for this time of year. Anyway, it appears to be bad outside, considering we got a quarter inch of ice last night. Hopefully that'll met as the rain comes in later. So, here's crime for this Christmas Eve (and I'm actually monitoring, unlike I did on Christmas Eve last year, LOL!).
