Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire

Ailz has been told she can't drive for six weeks (at least.) Apparently you use your abdominal muscles a lot when you're driving.

It's going to be a quiet Christmas.

No rushing about, no manic cheer.

Oh good.

And not just a quiet Christmas- a quiet winter.

I was hugely relieved to learn that most of the adults in my circle will *not* be exchanging gifts this year. That means a few goodies for Alice, a wee gift for her little half-sister, something decent for my in-laws, and something for John, and that's *it*. Hallelujah!

We're giving very few presents this year.

I tend to regard the whole Christmas thing as a capitalist conspiracy.
