Christmas with the High Cs

Herewith is a primer for all ye spouses and mates seeking entrance into this family, or being dragged in kicking and screaming! Pictured here are some of the traditions and rituals, such as wasting tons of bandwith trying to get just the right tree shot, trying in vain to get the cats to do something cute in the right place and without demon eyes, and, possibly most importantly for neophytes, the shots of the wrapping paper!

Oh, and we sorta look like we are having fun, too. Thanks for all the neat gifts, everybody!
