happy xmas…
…If you’re so inclined. If you are, I hope you enjoyed your holiday, whether it was celebratory or sacred for you.
‘Round these parts, it was a relatively sedate affair; some gifts exchanged in the morning (though we tried things a bit differently this year, doing a bit of gift exchange on the Solstice -December 21- as well), then a bit of cooking and cleaning, before having a few friends over for the afternoon to share a meal and socialize. Nice and low key, and I totally got my behind handed to me in rousing sessions of both Settlers of Catan and King of Tokyo, the latter by a six year old – board game victory was not to be mine this day, though I had a nice time being soundly beaten while in the company of some truly excellent people.
After the place cleared out, I did some dishes, watched the Doctor Who Xmas special (not bad, really) and logged a little video game time, because I could, and it’s my end-of-year vacation. Pfft.
Not sure what’s up tomorrow – won’t be cooking, though – lots of leftovers to work through, by design. Might as well stretch today’s culinary efforts out a few days. Otherwise, I think it’ll be more games, reading, and maybe out to the hardware store to buy some clamps – I have a cajón to build (from a gift kit this time, but if it goes well, I may dig up some plans on the internet and build a larger one).
