I think perhaps it's a bit pathetic that I didn't post one single thing on here between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but on the other hand, things were just too dang busy to worry about my blog. We had a really nice, relaxing Christmas with plenty of time to enjoy our new presents. The hit of Christmas morning was probably I's Bob the Builder tool bench, complete with working electric screwdriver. He was not even interested in opening any other presents at all. Later in the day, though, the Star Wars DVD's were more popular. Since F. has become interested in the trilogy that came out in the last few years, we figured that she should also see the favorites from when we were kids. (I find it so confusing how to refer to those movies. Which ones are "first"? The ones made first or the ones chronologically first?)

I spent a good deal of the day in the kitchen, but also found time to enjoy one of my new books by one of my favorite authors, D.E. Stevenson. They're not so new since they're out of print, but they're new to me. I've been spending much too much time reading the past couple of days, but it's been nice to have things quiet after all the Christmas rush.
