Popping in to wish those of you who are celebrating today a very Merry Christmas, and those of you who are not celebrating but have the day off a very happy bonus day, and everyone a good midweek.

We are surfacing from the detritus of a morning of gift-opening; we did church yesterday, so we’ve got nowhere to be today and it feels very luxurious.  The kids are done, but the parents still have a pile to get through, thanks to neglecting our own gifts in favor of making sure the shorties were happy and not arguing.  Santa’s offerings of workbooks and mittens were received with grudging gratitude, but the kiddos loved their presents from Mom and Dad.  (winks)

Now Steve is napping, and when he gets up we will finish our opening, and then at some point I’ll peel myself off the couch and go see what time the Field Roast needs to go into the oven.

A very happy one to you and yours!  Back on Friday with a booklist, naturally.
