Hope you all had a good holiday weekend, and that Santa Yoda was good to all of you as well. I must have been a very good jedi this year. I received a plethora of Star Wars loot.

From my wife and daughter I got (as any good Gold Squadron pilot should) a Y-wing Fighter, (oops where did that come from! Lets try this one!) and my major award, "The Star Wars Vault", which is sooooo cool! I had not mentioned I wanted it to anyone but my parents. They weren't able to get it so I wrote it off as not to be. Then opening gifts on Christmas morning, much to my surprise there it was.

My wife saw it at a book sale sponsored by Readers Digest in the lobby of her work and thought I would like it. She bought it for get this, only 30 dollars. The only difference to the ones in the stores was it lacked the box sleeve.

From my sister-in-law I received a Yoda bobble head. My co-workers got me a Darth Vader Giant Pez and the Obi-Wan titanium Jedi star fighter. With a gift card my parents gave me, I got "Fury" to add on top of everything else. I was one happy Star Wars Fan Boy!

Christmas went well besides the gifts. It snowed some, though it went more to the south. A White Christmas just the same. There is no family in town so the Gold5 family stayed in and enjoyed spending time just the three of us. Abby has been doing puzzles lately so I got out an old Star Wars puzzle from my collection and we put it together. I was surprised it still had all it's pieces after all these years.

That is all for now.

Happy coming New Year everyone!

MTFBWY!
