So we're nearly at the end of 2016 which is obviously an arbitrary marker in an indifferent universe BUT...
(I don't really believe that but leaving aside the celeb deaths this Christmas season brought the death of a lady I've know my whole life, the return of cancer to one of the nicest most selfless men I know and TWO deaths that had to be announced to a group of us before the children's Crib Service on Christmas Eve... adult deaths but one expected and one a complete shock)
Um. I've had a lovely Christmas. All that previous paragraph under the cut is true and has been difficult but I truly have been blessed this Christmas. I've seen all my family and a lot of my friends and I got lovely lovely presents and two Yuletide stories both for Georgette Heyer's Venetia <3
And then the rest of the week vanished somehow. I mean I saw people and did some sales shopping and did a bit of preparing for next year and panicked because my job has been advertised (this is not a surprise but the timing is a little... I have till the 11th to apply)
Honestly though- I have books and chocolate and some amazing necklaces plus a calendar of Jenny Dolfen's art and my two goddaughters gave me chocolate and wine (wine came from the grown up one :-P) and I hope you've had Christmasses as lovely as this one.
And I hope 2017 is better :-P
(ps. I have not properly registered all the current LJ is over/Russian/unsecure news and I will and maybe, finally, start crossposting properly to DW but I'm not quite awake enough to work it out right now. My last attempt failed because I couldn't work out how to ensure I saw everyone's posts without seeing them all twice)
