Christmas

[theatokos]

I do like Christmas. I really really do. For the few weeks gearing up for the carol service (now almost 2 weeks ago) I felt Christmas-y, but once it was done I just felt winter-y with the snow and the cold. However, I'm feeling the spirit again. Tonight my sister and nieces skyped with us and we opened presents. I scored a great scarf/hat wrap thing and a pair of warm socks. You know you're old when hats and socks are great presents!

Tomorrow the real fun begins: cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking. Adam's brother, ChaCha (which means uncle - specifically the father's brother - in Hindi), arrives. He gets into Heathrow at 9am and then takes the train to Carmarthen and then the bus here. We expect him for dinner. I am making a roast chicken dinner with potatoes and carrots and stuffing. Possibly a green veg. Mulled wine. And maybe a dessert. Adam always makes cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas. It would be great if B would nap tomorrow like he did today: 3 hours.

That sounds... gah. I would love to spend Christmas someplace other than here.

AWWW. Skyping for Christmas... what a great idea.

Quiet Christmases are excellent. Adam and I had a few where we didn't have any guests and we didn't go anywhere and it was wonderfully peaceful. It makes me more excited for the holidays when we do spend them with family.

I hope you can get some time to just chill with Pirate and be peaceful.

Have a wonderful time with your family. I passed your house yesterday evening. The path through the churchyard was lethal going up to Jaqi's so I opted for the road on the way home. Out side my block it was like an ice rink this morning; skating was less an option & more a RULE!!!
