Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas from the Chases! We're celebrating Christmas on the beach in South Carolina this year. Our relaxing vacation has so far consisted of lots of eating (starting with an early Christmas dinner at our home in Durham, as well as a fancy dinner out on Christmas eve in Hilton Head), biking around Sea Pines Plantation, walking on the beach, and catching up on new movies. We saw "Night at the Museum" yesterday - hang on through a slow beginning because the movie completely redeems itself through the end. I give it my recommendation!

Santa managed to find us here on the island and, despite my surprising appearance on the "naughty list" this year, he rewarded me nicely. Now we're soaking up as much sun as we can for a few days. Soon we're heading North to Cleveland to celebrate the New Year with the rest of the Chases in Ohio. Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday with friends and family! Enjoy the last days of 2006!
