Bah - humbug!


No kids, or grandkids ?:-(

We expect to have 25 visitors for "Christmas Eve" dinner (*) I'm
trying to figure out where to arrange tables so no one feels isolated.

Due to "global warming" it's going to be unusually cold, so we can't
do it outdoors like we have in the past ;-)

The odds have crashed on a white Christmas here.
