Dec. 25th, 2012 05:59 pm1. One can make the theme to "Bob the Builder" scan to the Hallelujah Chorus. (And vice versa, with some effort.)
2. We managed to get all the gifts opened in one day this year. I've decided that I actually rather like the slow pace and may try to keep doing that in future years -- have the kids open one gift each and let them play with it for a while before going on to another gift.
3. 68F/20C at noon. 38F/3C at 6pm. Supposed to get below freezing tonight (and with a fire weather warning, because it may be cold but it's also dry and windy). Our summer weather is predictable; our winter weather is anything but.
4. Ethelbert continues to be a good eater, a decent sleeper, and an excellent excreter, and he holds up well to Middle Son's demonstrations of affection.
5. Note to self: Buying yarn does not mean that I then magically get time to knit/crochet/weave it up.
6. Ditto with books and time to read them.
7. Middle Son picked up Alvin and the Chipmunk's Christmas song after one hearing (the words are a mess, but he's got the tune and tone down). He's also picked up the barking dogs version of Jingle Bells. Urk.
8. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate; happy quiet Tuesday to all who don't.
