Merry Christmas, if you’re celebrating, Merry Monday everyone else. We haven’t begun festivities yet and are just putting the house to rights. Laundry was washed, a huge bag of tunas were boiled so I didn’t trip over the darned things another day, and now I’m sitting with some coffee and an unfinished Christmas gift. I hope your week brings peace and quiet before the new year.

P.S. Everyone in the frozen north, I get it, but please chill out on the whole Solstice thing. Please. Some of us just got our sweaters back out again.
