We're headed up to Utah today to spend Christmas with the Bricco clan. This is our year to have the kids for Christmas, and all of R's siblings will be at his parents' in Taylorsville. I have this week off, so we're getting on the road in just a few hours. We'll stop in St. George tonight, then continue up to SLC tomorrow. Our sweet friend, Amber, works in the hospitality industry and helped us out with a great deal on a hotel room for the week. With a total of four kids, their spouses and twelve grandkids (and one on the way), T and L's house would be bursting at the seams if we were all staying there.
When we go on long car trips, we like to listen to audio books. A few of our favorites have been: The Hobbit, Guests of the Ayatollah (about the Iran hostages), The Bin Ladens and The Devil Under the Microscope (the story of the discovery of penicillin). We also like to listen to old radio programs and the comedy channels on satellite radio.
The title of this post is from Blackadder's Christmas Carol. Here's a snippet of it, courtesy of YouTube. The quote in question comes at around the 4:40 mark.
