Happy actually Christmas

I'm still aglow. (And I have the Sarah Harmer song of the same name running in my head on repeat.) Just so you all have the right picture in your head about all of this, our correspondence is silly and not about much of anything, just fun. I've stopped trying to craft witty multi-layered emails, as is my usual wont. Instead, they are just plain silly and it is liberating!

My sister went out for a run, so our Christmas day progression has stalled out. I hope that she isn't totally thoughtless and runs for hours as is HER wont. I think this happened last year too.... With the brother not here this year, it matters less--we are off our ritual as it is--but still. It leaves the rest of us hanging around waiting. I am trying to DO things (hence the blog) rather than just wait and feel put upon. God only knows that I have things I should be doing, and it is not like I am 5 years old and desperate to open presents!
