And To All, A Good Night

Fine presents, cookies and coffee, a long ride around the town, the traditional watching of A Christmas Story, and a bit of a snooze -- all the ingredients of a lovely holiday.

The Capitals jacket fits Joe like a glove; the pretty amber ring sparkles on my hand. Biggest surprise? The great DVD of Beyond the Fringe! Before there was Monty Python, there were Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett, and Jonathan Miller. Inspired!

We tried to see a movie; alas, it was sold out! No worries; there's plenty of time tomorrow, or the next day, or the next.

A chicken is now roasting in the oven. In a minute I'll shuck the corn and whomp up some biscuits. It's not the usual Christmas feast, but it will do us just fine.

And just perhaps, some whipped cream for our after-dinner coffee.

If SonnyeBoy were here, it would be the Best Christmas Ever. But since we'll see him later this weekend, it will do just fine.
