Happy Festival-of-Helios-meets-Saturnalia-meets-Germanic-Solstice-meets-observed-birthday-of-first-century-rabbi-Yoshua-bar-Yoseph. Hope the household nisse brought everyone lots of gifts.
The flooding is over, the pipes are fixed, and after we lost power in half the house yesterday, we have electricity back. My father says the next evil to visit us will be famine, but we have a fridge and cupboards full of food right now, and I think he's just thinking of the Four Horseman. We all got a cold/flu thing, so there's Pestilence.
My sister just called, and she and infinitecomplex won't be able to make it over for Christmas Day itself, but they're hoping for Boxing Day. Vancouver sounds like Caina right now, so I'm rethinking my trip out that way.
Still, it's been a nice, relaxing day. I haven't slacked off on my editing, and I should half done my own edit by the time I go home.
There's been so much chaos this year, though, it hasn't felt much like a vacation, and I think I'll need some time off when I get home to recover from this holiday.
