Once again, I spent my holidays in California. I was there from December 20th through January 3rd 2007. The first couple of days were spent with my family. On Friday, I met with Adam and met Corpsefairy's cats. Then we went over to Corpsefairy's place so she and Becca could dress me (and others) for Dickens Fair the next day. I stayed over at Adam's house, then back to Momentum the next morning. It was Dickens Fair in San Francisco all day. Then came Christmas with the family. Then 3 days in Lake Tahoe, and New Year's Eve festivities back up with Corpsefairy. I took surprisingly few pictures for the length of my trip!
