I see you all are still snoozing

Thank you dear! Mine was, at least, peaceful and warm, we ate well and then, at mid-night, presents ;o)) Our Santa was thoughtful and generous ;o) Sofia D

Thank you, I am here Mirjam:) We had a very peaceful and happy time:))

Mirjam at my time it is 5:43 am on Tuesday so I am really up early instead of sleeping in. Yesterday was busy for me as I was cooking a good deal of the day - but we enjoyed a nice family time. The boys were here and they always appreciate the traditional food (they actually appreciate most home cooked food.) DS#1 is still sleeping here as he lives a few hours away and doesn't need to be back until tomorrow. DS #2 who got married last September and he was here with his new wife and mother in law. Our daughter called from New Jersey to talk to everyone during the afternoon as she and her family didn't make the trip this year.

I have some remaining picking up to do today and then I think I will do some knitting on a baby sweater being made for a gift. I got several good books for Christmas so I may have to start on one - I also got a set of dvd's of Agatha Christie's Poirot mysteries so I am set for a quiet week. The week between Christmas and New Years is free of meetings and other obligations, so it is usually pretty relaxing. I really don't have anything on my calendar until several days into 2007.

Thanks Mirjam!

We had all of our family dinners before Christmas so Christmas day it was DH, DD and me lounging around the house all day. I didn't even get out of my pajamas :) We had plenty of leftovers to eat, so there was no need to cook. Very nice.

I haven't been snoozing, I've been knitting the furry garment for Spouse :-)

It's looking good.

I asked designer son if men should wear fluffy knitwear, he didn't understand the question. He says men can wear anything - as can women. What's more, when he saw what I'd done so far he suggested that if there were any yarn left over he might just wear something knitted for him ... :-)

Thant is so nice top hear Ophelia ,, we are now in the middle of a storm ,,, RAIN is welcome , cold less welcome , but you can`t have only the part you need and like ,,,,, mirjam

Mirjam -- my daughter was supposed to fly in on Friday afternoon and we had a last-night-of-Hanukah party planned for Friday night. Well, out city got a huge blizzard last Wednesday and Thursday and the airport was closed for 2 1/2 days, with about 5000 people stuck in the airport. She finally arrived Friday night around midnight, and the Hanukah party was moved to Saturday lunch. I told everyone what you told me about "makavet" and Judah Maccabee. It was very nice, and we were glad she made it home for at least a little bit of the holiday.

Well, it's good of you to say that but all our 'children' are very different except that they all think for themselves.

No idea where they get that from :-)
