Gaudete Sunday
Movie - Claire had three of her close girlfriends over this afternoon to celebrate the Christmas season. The four of them had a little gift exchange and I took them to see The Nativity Story. As they say "I laughed, I cried...". It was excellent! I had read a few critical reviews but I have to differ. I'm definitely buying it when it comes out on DVD and we'll make it an annual Christmas tradition to watch it.
Party - Last night Michelle and I went to the annual office holiday party. It was held at The International in Bolton, MA. Since the location was about 50 minutes away, we left the festivities a little early (~9:30pm) so that I wouldn't worry about falling asleep on the drive home. Short summary: good companions, great food, awful coffee, fun entertainment.
Nintendo - I took some more time to look into the multi-user capabilities of the Nintendo DS. I was happy to read that the kids should be able to use many of the games we own in a multiplayer mode once they get their new DS's. I was worried that to play them together, you'd need multiple copies of the same game. Luckily it seems that for many games, you can wirelessly send copies of the game to others in the local network and play together. It should make for some fun game play, especially MarioKartDS
