Countdown

So, Christmas prep progresses around here. I finished the last of the shopping this afternoon, after a lovely lunch with my friend Cindy. Aside from the crowds that are wearying to this borderline introvert, it was a fine day. Shopping for presents to give to other people is one exception to my previously expressed distaste for the process.

Tonight: wrapping, wrapping, wrapping.

Tomorrow morning: some final baking. Molasses cookies, and butterballs, and maybe another batch or two of toffee. Seriously therapeutic, to all senses. Mmmm......

Then, tomorrow evening: prayer and worship, and a bit of Christian meditation by the light of our traditional pagan tree (one bit of syncretism to which I willingly subscribe).
