Christmas Day with desertnuts 's family at our house. I will talk to Darin, Lisa and Ella by phone as they are with Grandma Diane today

All set for the holiday, shopping done, Pumpkin has got his fluids, my Kindle is charged, life is good. Happy holidays.

I finished "The Gate House" and bought a couple of reference books on the Kindle. "Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing"

It is almost shopping day. Maybe I will start early this year.

Happy shortest day and longest night.
