Christmas was very good. I think everybody I gave a gift to enjoyed what they got. As for myself I was quite happy with the presents I received. It was also nice getting to see a fair chunk of my family (my parents, grandparents, brothers, the nephew, and a nice sampling of aunts, uncles, and cousins).
My birthday, on the other hand, was pretty crappy. I was in a car accident. Not a particularly serious one, nobody was hurt, but my car did suffer around $3200 worth of damage (estimated). The brief run down would be both me, and the guy who hit me approached an open intersection that was icy and snow-packed. Neither of us were speeding, but we were both probably going a bit faster than advisable for the road conditions. I started entering the intersection, and noticed the oncoming car, I tried to break and turn away from him, he tried to break and turn away from me, but because of the icy roads, we both just kept sliding in our original directions. He hit me pretty much right on the rear wheel on the passenger side, and spun me a quarter turn. Of course he was driving an early to mid 70s Cadillac, which held up much better than my 1999 Pontiac Bonneville. So while the Cadillac suffered a bit of damage to the paint job, and possibly had the chrome on its bumper scuffed, my car had to be towed away.
