Around noon, I opened all the Christmas cards I've received, played at the computer, cleaning out what I can of the iTunes mess. I fed the cats and had my dinner. Around 5:00, I got an unexpected Amazon email informing me that a DR had sent me a gift certificate. It was my one Christmas gift and it was completely unexpected. I was moved to tears by such unexpected generosity and kindness.
A homeless person angry that they wouldn't let him take a shower banged on the window until it broke.
Today is the DH's birthday - the Feast of Stephen that Good King Wenceslas talks about. We went out for breakfast, and a friend is throwing a dinner party tonight.

DR Elmore --Today I started my little Nutcracker recordings project, in which I'll be listening to whatever I have here and keeping track of cuts and anything else of note.I began with Irving/NYC because you said there was a problem with the mouse fight music repeating. I should go back and find the post, but I believe that was the gist? I just listened to it straight through, playing the copy sitting on Google Drive, and there's nothing at all amiss.We're in an unknowable digital world here, where anything that happens is inexplicable, so I wonder if your iTunes train wreck affected this. I would toss your copy and download it again:Act 1: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1twnAhOLZ0UnAMXhZaZ_QIk1nahQpZ270/view?usp=sharingAct 2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-WmjVJcod5HAZRysphvMMAQ04x7snZgg/view?usp=sharingAnd of course let me know if anything weird happens.
Here’s my favorite version of Good King Wenceslas in honor of the day:https://youtu.be/eCt_C7XCMKg?si=yE-C0WhHXQIbYsuF
Boxing Day greetings! We had a very quiet Christmas Day, the highlight of which was a 3-party live chat with Rob’s household in Illinois and the other grandparents in Michigan. We got to watch Charlotte and Hannah open a huge box that spewed forth half a dozen BLUE balloons, signifying the new sibling will be a brother!
Before and After the holidays:
DR George your spread was very festive.
From DR George:QuoteWe also had bagels and cream cheese and smoked salmon (but not lox).Do you mean those fat pieces of smoked salmon? And you put that on bagels and cream cheese
