Christmas and to do before I die

What a difference in Christmas's from this year to last. Last year my heart wasn't in the Christmas spirit much at all. This year I got a little excited about decorating my apt, listening to christmas music, buying gifts, etc. It still isn't my favorite holiday or anything but it is a good reason to see my family again.
Tonite I went to Jane's for her family get together. I had never met them before and my dad and brother didn't want to go. I had already told her I would go, so I sucked it up. It wasn't too bad but its kind of a conversation stopper when people hear who I work for.
Tommorow I go to Maureen's house for my mom's side. I am looking forward to playing cards and opening presents again.
Yesterday I was looking in my room at my dad's house and I found my old journal. Before I went to college I had written a list of things I wanted to do before I was 40. This year I checked off a couple of things and here they are:
Take a ride in a plane (checked off in Oct 2007 plane trip from Dayton to Nashville)
Try a martini (checked off in Nov 2007 pineapple upside down martini with Jalena)
Graduate from college (checked off in June 2007 BS in Accountancy and Finance)

Have any of you accomplished things on your "to do before I die list"?

I remember this list, don't I? So, what's next on the list? Merry Christmas, friend, and God bless.
