That was me, two days ago, at my job as a private security officer at an upscale gated community. I was trying to feel the Christmas vibe, but it was hard.

Now, I am at my mom’s house in the Bay Area. The cats are chillin’.

It rained all of Christmas Eve.

The tree was attracting gifts like a magnet.

And this morning… Christmas morning… the sun was out, and the presents had magically multiplied.

Oh yeah.

Instead of a bunch of photos of people opening gifts, I will post photos over a few days of people enjoying the gifts. Here is my son-in-law, Jason, playing with the electric travel guitar we got him.

I got a pair of socks… with my face all over them…

I mean, come on…

This is the perfect gift for someone as self-absorbed as I am.

All of a sudden, in the middle of opening gifts, an ornament fell from the tree and broke. It was an American flag-themed globe. If this isn’t a commentary on Trump’s effect on our country, I don’t know what would be.

I took a picture of my older daughter, Jessica, as she took a picture of the tree. Okay, see you later for more stuff.
