Christmas Day

Christmas Dinner was great. There were only an even dozen of us this year, which made for comfortable conversation, as well as comfortable seating.

Unfortunately I'm still trying to get over this horrible cold, but at least I can talk now. Dale and Gene spent 2 days running errands and shopping. Then Judy and Bob arrived and handled a lot of the last day prep work. All in all I relaxed more than usual and took naps while they did all the work. Not a bad deal. Christmas day actually turned out to be rather relaxing. I'm thinking that 12 is a good number to stick to. In past years when we've wanted to invite everybody, it has been nuts all day.
