Today's in the books and we've got one and a half more days until Christmas break! I did a little shopping on the way home and a little wrapping after dinner. We started dinner around 4:30 and I thought...may as well; it's pitch dark anyway.

Mike and I have gradually got things done for our Christmas festivities.

I am bit of a hermit in December, so a fast trickle feels fine.

In this darkness, I usually resist the urge to put on my PJs, but I still wind down early.

July is a memory and that's okay.
