So how was everyone’s Christmas? Did you stay on track? Indulge a little but not too much? Or did you have to loosen the belt, just a tad to make some extra room? Did Santa pay you a visit and if he did, was he as good to you as you were to him?
I have the task of dealing with having a birthday 8 days before Christmas so I’ve spent years overcoming the trauma of the combined gift. Since meeting and marrying my husband, I’ve enjoyed a separation of birthday and Christmas which has been fun. This year was no different and hubby did goooooood. For my birthday, I was grazed with these bad boys (in white and purple this time) to break in this Spring after I’ve destroyed my current runners with winter running. I was so happy and surprised.
For Christmas, hubby focused on my other big passion in life: photography. He bought me a Fong-Bong (*giggles*) which is a Cloud Diffuser for my Flash. Photography geeks will know what it is and if you’re not one, take heart and just know that it’s way cool. Thankfully, I have the perfect test subject.

Ooo… my DH is a photography fan and would love one of those! Happy Photographing. I am sure there will be many fabulous new opportunities to document in the new year.
I’m hoping so! I’m relaunching my photography website in a few weeks and seriously hoping to get a boost in business with a more professional looking page.
He is the perfect subject! And I can see what it does even though I have no idea how it works
LOL! He really is the perfect subject. He just soaks up the camera attention. A true photographers child
Tres cool! I was hoping Santa would bring me a big dose of motivation…
Looks like you had a great birthday and Christmas – Happy New Year!
Fit Santa definitely helped but Fat Santa also brought a lot (and I mean A LOT) of chocolate evilness into the house. My before pics for p90x are going to be a bit pot bellied
