I’ll be taking Monday off (thanks Hoyt) so I’ll say Merry Christmas to all of you now.  Christmas Eve is at my sister’s in Lafayette.  She gets to host  because she has the youngest kids in the family with little Evan not yet two.  It’s so nice to have a baby around for Christmas. The Nicolini tradition is to have soup and salad on Christmas Eve and a big turkey dinner on Christmas night at my Mom’s in San Leandro.  I’ve been assigned salad and bread.  (Obviously not a lot of faith in my culinary skills)  Tommy came home from Tempe (ASU) last night and immediately bolted out for a night on the town with his friends.  Monica’s also ready to relax after some grueling high school finals,  (eek physics!)  All I want for Christmas is a quiet dinner for the four of us sometime during the holidays.  Too much to ask?

I want to thank you for all the Christmas wishes and to take this opportunity to say how much I appreciate knowing you’re out there listening to KDFC everyday.  You are the reason I come to work each day.  And I will be back at it December 26.

The best to you and yours.

Dianne
