christmas

yes. christmas. what a lovely time. i enjoyed it. i saw lots of people.
i gave gifts. i gave my wife a voucher for a pair of shoes, and then i bought her a pair of shoes (different colour though)
i gave my brother a huge pot full of different succulents, which he loves. we gave my neice+nephew hand-made christmas decorations, felt sewn and stuffed in the shape of the first letter of their name. decorated with beads and sequins. they liked them.
my wife bought me a guitar. an expensive guitar. she is in trouble. it has a built in tuner. it sounds lovely. i owe her forever bigness.
christmas was good all over. and will be better still when we finally get to catch up with all our people.... which will hopefully be soon.
