You got that right. Me, wife, our two kids, my brother, his wife and two kids, our "kid" sister (who is pushing 34 - scary how time flies
), my dad and my sister-in-law's dad - we had the closest family living nearby gathered here on Christmas Eve, which is the big day here in Norway. That, plus knowing that my wife's brothers and sister, their families and her parents are fine, and seeing my oldest son (who is 10) making the conscious decision to not give his little brother a good whack on the head, and instead just saying "it's all right - the important thing is family, not toys", when little bro broke the very cool (but fragile) flying insect toy big bro just had gotten from grandpa, are the most important Christmas gifts I received.
But I also got a very much appreciated no-name double action airbrush from my brother, along with a can of propellant, so I can start experimenting a little with misting on paint to engines, as soon as I get a chance (on Saturday - all stores are closed from 1 pm on Christmas Eve until 9 am on December 27th) to pick up some suitable paint for airbrushing from my local hobby store.
Smile,
