My South Dakota State Jackrabbits are a Top 25 team in women's basketball, and the long-suffering men's basketball team got a huge road win at Iowa State. Go Rabbits! (I got this Jackrabbit logo trophy statue thing because I'm a rich and influential donor--yeah, right!)

We cooked up some seafood bisque, fauxtatoes (I go kinda heavy on the cream cheese and butter), cranberry-orange relish, Jello(TM) molds, and some eggnog for today's Christmas dinner over at Snookums' parent's place. Soon, we will indeed go "over the river and through the woods."

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Peace On Earth, Goodwill Towards Everyone!
