I showered and shaved tonight as soon as the kids went to bed, to give then a little time to go to sleep before the wrapping started.
To be honest I was a little distracted during the shave, but I achieved a great result anyway.
Its now 11pm Christmas Eve here in Oz, and everything is ready for the morning.
Its fun being a parent on Christmas Eve.
Have a great Christmas guys.

Merry Christmas to all in this wonderful brotherhood and a wonderful holiday to you and your family. I would also like to give thanks to God for sending His son to redeem us from sin.
Happy holidays to all y'all.
