Nada. Too busy having too much fun with holiday parties, but tomorrow is the Christmas Lights Run, one of my favorite events in the area where we all meet at Union Station wearing crazy christmas clothing and run around the streets of DC making lots of noise and attempting to sing Christmas carols, so I'll get some exercise then... excuses, excuses...  Here's a photo from last year's run:

Cute Who hats LOL Sounds like you are having a great holiday season... way to go. Have fun running and singing your Christmas run. I've been known to belt out a few lines of a song when the feeling moves me LOL but it's not easy.
