Holidays and tech talk to welcome the new year.

I get pummeled by my nieces. They are four years old, but there are two of them.

• Holidays surprise us
• Elvis enters the world
• Today’s kids grow up with only digital photos
• Multi-part Christmas. With Frank’s fam: chaotic present-giving, an embarrassment of sweets. At my mom’s: loading gifts, arriving early, lots of DVDs, wrestling with little ones
• Lightning Round
• Tech Talk: A video solution for Danny
• Driveway Update: I saw pavers chopped
• Listener feedback
