I'll admit, sometimes it felt like I needed a helmet and goggles, but all in all we had a great Christmas. Ali and I hosted this year (30+ people), and here are a few lessons learned:1) Light bulbs will burn out at twice the normal rate, and primarily in difficult-to-reach locations.
2) Garbage day doesn't come soon enough
3) When purchasing libations, figure roughly three drinks per guest-- or double that if they have a two-year-old
4) Have each guest bring an empty box with a return shipping label -- something WILL be forgotten.
5) And finally, don't forget: batteries are the currency of Christmas morning

It was an absolutly fabulous Christmas celebration and you both win high marks for being the most flexible and most fun "hosting couple" - ever!! I guess you come by it well, as both your parents also love to entertain and party:) Thanks for everything; and for making the holiday one of connecting with those we love and cherish. Now, on to sharing all those great photos!
