The Day After

Today is officially the day after Christmas.  It was a happy event, characterized by:  Family, Feast, Fellowship, and Puzzles (of the crossword kind and otherwise).   Now begins the process of putting things away,  uploading pictures,  cleaning up,  taking stock of gifts, etc.


For me, and my own 'personal Christmas history',  I will probably remember it as the first time I've missed Christmas Eve Services in.........well.....as long as I can remember.  I would have been there had I not been sick.  I spent several days literally in bed.  I got up to do the things that absolutely had to be done to be ready, but then collapsed back into bed. Fluish, no energy.

Today, I have taken my new sewing machine out of its box, and have watched the instructional DVD.  There was only one 'new piece of information'.  All the rest was totally familiar.  The new feature which I have never had before---an automatic needle threader!   And just in time.  It has become much harder for me to thread a needle these days!  I look forward to many delightful hours of projects, and I might even make my Christmas gifts for next year!    (From the look of things,  Gerry is going to have as much fun making me a sewing room, as I am going to have sewing!)

The homemade whole wheat rolls I made for dinner were such a hit, however, maybe that is the gift I should make and give next time!


Goodbye Christmas 2010.  Already a thing of the past.
