Merry Christmas to you from Z Recommends and the entire ZRecs Network. Our bloggers have taken a much-deserved break but we'll be back with new content in the morning.

Our own family is particularly thankful today to have had a sick kid who got better enough to enjoy her Christmas morning, and we're treasuring this as one of the magical years that make Christmas with a young child so special. We hope you've enjoyed a wonderful day with your loved ones as well.

We have plenty of post-Christmas fodder to share (wait'll you see our five finished bunnybears), as well as a small gift from our family to yours. We'll get that gift up for you to enjoy tomorrow, assuming we have our technological affairs in order!
