Holiday Hiatus & 2009 Wrap-Up

As per my usual posts this time of year, it's time for me to take a break from this blog and enjoy the holidays.

Although, I did take the time to fill out the 2009 Wrap-Up Survey that I received from multiple people (thanks guys) and posted it below. Also, over the next few weeks, I will try to post some holiday pictures on my picture page, so feel free to check back and peruse through those when they're up.

Happy Holidays!
