The heavy seas do not sound fun, but it was really nice that they awoke to the stockings and cards. My son is in the middle of the Pacific heading back to LA from China. He bought a satellite calling card from the Captain (at least I think thats what he said) and so he totally surprised us with a phone call Christmas morning (we were a little down because we had not received an e-mail from him). Needless to say it was the best present I (and my husband too) received. He will be in port in LA this weekend and we will get a chance to talk with him again on his cell phone and he hopes to get a chance to send us all the pictures he took. He said they were going to have filet mignon and lobster tails for dinner and that he would he spending the day on his sea project since he did not have to work. It is pretty amazing to think that we could talk to him when he was out in the middle of the ocean. Hope every had a blessed Christmas.
