Lotus NoteBook

Category Christmas
This year for Christmas Becky, my wonderful wife, gave me a much needed new laptop bag. My old one was just too small for me.  It could carry the laptop but not much else. As much as I wanted a bigger bag, I hated to give my current one up because she had "tricked" it out with a Notes icon and my website address.

As usual, she thinks of everything. She made new patches for the websites and Notes Icon that I had before.  But a big surprise was the new patches that she made. She made patches for the user conference logos that I went to.  There was the IamLUG conference which I was at in St. Louis, the New York Tri-State LUG which I got to speak at a while ago and also one for Lotusphere 2010 which I will be speaking at.



Really cool stuff. In addition to this I also got a pure yellow shirt from my Mother In Law.  

Thanks Becky and MIL!!

All in all, it was a very Lotus Christmas this year!

I'm not sure where we came up with it, but last year the family started playing a game where we would look for Christmas Trees on cars and get points for them.  We'd try to see who got the most trees.  

The rules are relatively simple.  The tree MUST by on or in the car.  Today we were out and drove by a a tree lot and saw a tree getting ready to go - but it wasn't on the car yet.  The first one to call it gets the point.

We've since expanded it to included some recognition for other decoration.  Around here some people will put wreaths on the front of their car.  We've even seen a couple of cars with Reindeer antlers out the windows and a big red "Nose" on the front of the car.  Since that's so rare, we're calling it 2 points for the wreaths and antlers.

I think I'm leading in the tally with 27 to my wife's 26.  The kids being 5 and 8 are doing well as they're both in double digits.

Just a silly game that we like to do as a build up to Christmas...

Here are two pictures.  In the second one you can see TWO cars with trees on them.
