"Columbia Christmas" or "finally! family!"

It had been so long since I had been with my family. Last time was my daughter's college graduation last spring. I got to go up to South Carolina for 10 days to see them. Until about a week and a half before I hadn't even considered that it might be possible. But some programming decisions by my boss meant that we could re-run some things and get our shows done in advance and I realized I could get away and actually use some of the month of vacation time I've accrued. It was good. Very good.
