The Light of Distant Suns

[mishalak]

My parents are off at Christmas Eve Mass. We had a nice dinner, mostly together since my mom had to run off early to prepare. She’s like the choir director. (I know, I know, I was in the choir at one point too, how far I’ve fallen.) But I have had a just extraordinary time playing with my camera here. It has this astonishingly keen light amplification function. Not ten minutes ago I was taking pictures of Orion that look like they came off of some sort of telescope. Then I noticed the glow from the city and I took a picture of that through the clouds and a few bright stars showed up in that as well. And I took pictures of the Christmas tree all lit up in a dark room. Wow! The Lord of the Rings collectors edition still beats it out, but I’m thinking this camera is number two on the all time great presents list.

Well the family should be back in 15 minutes... I think I shall enjoy the rest of my time browsing what others have to say this Christmas Eve rather than writing about Christmases past. I'll do that tomorrow.
