Opening Christmas Presents Early

Opening gifts before Christmas Day isn't a big tradition in my house, but my mother's in town, heading out later this morning to visit other family members, so we exchanged presents early. I scored some gift cards and immediately headed over to Barnes and Noble, picking up Paul Kengor's, The Communist. I'll be getting into it over the next few days, and if I like it that means I'll probably read it all in a few sittings. We'll see, but I'll report back with some thoughts, in any case.
