Well! We’ve had our Christmas dinner and another meal of leftovers. Delicious. Christmas day was lovely and very low key. We have decided that we miss opening a present on Christmas! We’ll do it differently next year. I made french toast for breakfast and we took a lovely walk in the afternoon – during one of the few periods where the sun was shining. Yesterday was gray and dismal. Today is gray and it’s raining. And no snow in sight.
This was the scene under the Christmas tree:
And there they stayed for most of the day. Big congratulations to Chloe for managing to sit securely on that stool all day long, even with both of us treading on the floorboards throughout the day.
I hope all of you enjoyed the holiday, if you celebrate. I hope that you felt some level of peace, if only for one day. We did and I’m very grateful.
As it happens, we watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Christmas Eve, “Meet John Doe” on Tuesday night, and “It Happened One Night” last night. A Frank Capra triple feature. It wasn’t planned, but I can’t imagine a better way to spend an evening. I think I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again. Frank Capra is my favorite film director. He’s Don’s, as well.
I’m reading the newest Michael Connelly. After two months of waiting in the queue, it arrived just before Christmas. I’m also working on another puzzle – The World of Hercule Poirot.
And, that my friends, is all I have to share. We’re fairly low key this week, as are, I suspect, many of you.
I just read that the date on NYE will be 12-31-23 or 123123. Pretty neat!
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
