Well, that was Christmas. Aside from the slightly unsightly location and the pronounced lack of beer, I had a grand time. We had a great dinner (Turkish food, which isn’t so odd when you consider that St Nicholas himself was born in what is now Turkey) and a gift swap that was a hell of a lot more fun than it sounded.
How did everyone make out?? New hardware? Ammo?
BTW, since we have a lot of time on our hands, we sat around rendering Christmas carols into spot reports and message traffic…
