Every Christmas is usually spent away from home. Usually we drive down to Fresno, where I was born and raised, to celebrate the holidays with my family. My parents, long since divorced and remarried, are patient as we celebrate the holidays twice, opening gifts, not necessarily on Christmas day, and eating our fair share of goodies and treats. In fact this Christmas Day was spent in transit as we drove back since I have to work on Boxing Day (today).Waiting for me, on my doorstep when I returned home, was a single flat package from my Mog Santa. This was the only gift I actually opened on Christmas Day, it was a real treat, it was special.Inside were a mixtape CD and a box of choco truffles. Best of all was a personal card from my Santa, explaining the choices on the mix and the reasoning behind the order. It was so thoughtful. Looky at what I got!1. Another One Goes By - Mazarin2.
