So obviously the Admiral is getting into the holiday spirit.

[She skips out on "Hello" and "Hey guys, I'm awake". The former goes without saying, the latter is obvious.]

Last year we got hit with the Christmas storm too. It was nice, though kind of generic -- good food, mistletoe, lights, presents. It's a big holiday in multiple countries on earth, though it doesn't exist in most other cultures so I think it threw some people off.

I guess what I'm asking is, what do you celebrate if you have a winter holiday? Hell, if you celebrate Christmas, what traditions do you have? My kid always got her presents as part of a scavenger hunt, and I once had a friend whose parents, I shit you not, played "hide the pickle" on Christmas morning. It's not what it sounds like.

Also, last year I attempted to explain the stories behind Christmas and had very little success. Please, someone, do it better than I did.

[The Beatrix who comes back to the Barge is not the one who left. Yes, she's the same person; she looks the same, except a bit older. She's rounded the corner into her early forties now, but it's not age that weathered her face. She looks exhausted, ashen-skinned and with dark shadows under her reddish eyes. So many things have changed from the last time she was here.]

Ten years.

[Ten years of monumental changes. She'd gone back; she'd seen Budd dead; she'd blinded Elle and killed Bill. She'd lost her enemies, at least she thought. And she'd gotten the most precious gift imaginable, which hadn't been revenge.

Ten years of motherhood, ten years of hugs and growing pains and tantrums and tears. Ten years of watching the most beautiful little girl in the world grow into a beautiful young woman, bright-eyed with a smile that always dazzled her. Easily the most perfect daughter any mother had ever had.

And then in the last week, it had all changed again.

Well, I'm back.
