While I've got some "Bah, humbug!" running through my head off and on, I'm also really looking forward to a solid week with very little to do except spoil Penny. I'm hoping the weather is good enough that we can do lots of walking.
I'm vaguely tempted to try to through a last-minute Boxing Day brunch, but I'm also vaguely tempted to just relax. :-) Christmas itself will be movies and hibachi (which has become our local tradition, rather than Chinese food) with Alan and likely others.
Actually, skipping the Boxing Day brunch makes it much more likely I'll be able to
give blood this week. The Thursday drive downtown seems a lot easier to pull off than the Saturday options, though of course I could also just wait until next month. They'll still need blood.
Anyway, a Happy Solstice and Merry Christmas to everyone.
