So although this pic was taken BEFORE Christmas, I had so many issues with SL (rezzed props disappearing, and then reappearing later when I’d already rezzed another copy, camera freezing, just to name a few), that I never actually got to publish it before leaving to spend the holidays with family. And although it may not be totally applicable to where we are calendar-wise, I’m considering it representative of the issues that go with the holidays. Frustrations with lights and other decorations are pretty standard; and from what I hear, so are the blow-ups and strife that sometimes occur at multi-day family get-togethers. This was our first Christmas flying up north and staying with my daughter’s family for almost a week (prior to this, we’d just driven up for the day or an overnight). Based on how it went (we almost changed our flights to leave on Christmas Day), we won’t be repeating it under this configuration. We definitely still want to spend the time, but think that in the future we need outside accommodations in order to create some space all around. Luckily, we’re back home with absolutely zero travel-related issues and it’s on to New Year’s, and we’ll worry about next Christmas next year… one thing we’ve learned, anything can happen! And, as an added FYI for this holiday frustration, I’ve been unable to upload anything to FlickR , which is also making it impossible to publish. Hopefully I’ll get this up before the event ends!!!
Hoping that you had a Merry Christmas, and are looking forward to the New Year (I know that I am!), both in real life and here on the grid. Happy Holidays, and happy shopping!
