The Gods of mass-consumerism have been sated. My wonderful (spoiled) kiddies have trundled off to play with their newly-obtained loot. My wife and I were given the gift of 550 yards of shredded gift wrapping and a few bows by our kids. No, correction: that and the laughter and smiles. We've overspent again, but I'd rather spend the excess on the kids than hanging out in a bar on a daily basis. We invested in more family things this year too, so our three times per week Family Night should be a lot more enjoyable. I hope your holidaze went well too!
