Peace and love to all.

Thank you, le nubian. Back at ya, and the same to all the Buffistas and ones precious to them.

Relaxing for the first time in forever before I get to the cooking. Bobby is gone to bring a gift to his friend that is a girl. They discuss being a couple from time to time, but they are so close they fear blowing the friendship. They are both seniors at different HSs, and she was mentioning that she didn't know if she would have a date for prom. His dad thinks he needs a 2x4 approach since subtle don't work here. My other son missed the trip to see other coast family yesterday because his car is dead and I didn't have and extra hour or so to fetch him. His dad is going to fetch him today for the family gathering here. I went with clothes and a big grocery store gift card since he asks for food every time I see him. DH is also going to drop off his old foosball table when he picks him up. I suspect he will also look at his broken bike and car since first born son inherited neither of his parents mechanical skills.

The carnivores in the house chose ham for today. I also have some scrumptious noodle pudding, roasted sweet and white potatoes, tons of treats from SIL's clients, and lots more. But for now it is Doctor Who, then maybe a sim before I am hitting the kitchen.

Love the jammies, Kat! I should do this for my crew some time, maybe heart fabric lounging boxers for Valentines Day. Hmmmmm. They would all love it.

There's hardly anyone here in the restaurant. One guy keeps on saying, "Bah, humbug."

Merry Christmas, buffistas!!!

I am waiting to get in the shower before the hoards of family get here for Xmas brunch. We got a ton of nice wine and beer and glasses (which we are really low on thanks to clumsiness) from my folks. Nice!!

Merry Christmas! We're sort of mottled white here. We had only a dusting of snow.

Boys were up at 6:15. Their parents are hungover, poor things. Held off on the Santa presents until 6:30. My parents got here at 7:30 or so and the craziness began. My brother got us all ugly Xmas sweaters: my mom's is a snowman cat, dad's has a Santa pissing out merry Xmas, and mine has mating reindeer!

Weather forecast has thunderstorms, high winds and hail. Ah, Christmas in Alabama...

We went to the candlelight communion at Mom's church last night, then out to eat Italian with my cousin and her boyfriend, then brought take-out home to Dad (he was determined not to freeze to death in the bitter 50° cold by going out). Then exchanged the presents we promised not to buy this year and hung out for a while.

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate it.

I am currently curled up on Juliana's sofa waiting for someone who knows how their coffee maker works (and where the coffee is) to wake up.

We have opened all of the things. The kids are WIRED so I think we'll head up to the mountains because it's close and we can. There is supposed to be snow up there. Maybe.

Uncertain connectivity here, so Merry Xmas and/or happy secular Tuesday to you all!
