DR Kate got a few things for me to give our great niece. I'll have to get presents for our great nephew. And gift cards for everyone else.

Count me among those who like gift cards.

Barbra is doing an interview in LA on January 5th. It's a fundraiser for the Grammy Museum. I was thinking of going but seem to have come to my senses.

Santa just brought me a morning without getting up and donning a tux an hour before dawn!

I must admit there has not been one single day in my life where I had to don a tuxedo before dawn

Been there. Done that, too.

And now, I must be leaving. I'm not going directly home, though. Since tonight is the winter solstice, my friend pug is having her annual Yule feast! She invites just about everyone she knows and has a (mostly) potluck dinner. She usually fixes some kind of Indian food. I don't know why. I'm not a particular fan of Indian food, but there'll certainly be something for everyone. I'm bringing a box of various flavors of Trader Joe's Jo-Joes cookies for a dessert item. It'll definitely be a fun evening!

Until later!

I usually find the shortest day of the year a bit depressing, not tonight. The charming town of Fredericksburg is filled with beautiful Christmas lights.

Tonight we ate at an Italian restaurant. We had an appetizer of artichoke hearts fried in a light flaky batter, delicious.

If it weren't for my brief appearance in ET, ET would not know to "phone home."

Went to Gelson's and got a snack - just a salad with 0 calories.

I watched Moonlight, about which more later. I was so ready to shut it off and I was so happy I didn't have to.

I used to shop for Christmas all year, buying things I thought people would like and saving them. 99% of my shopping was done by Thanksgiving and the cards were ready to mail.. I then focused on baking, making a good sized gingerbread house, wrapping and shipping or delivering gifts. Of course there was the tree to buy and decorate. I also had Bryans birthday party to plan and prepare for. I LOVED it all. It became harder and harder to find the right gifts and the fun kind of went out of Christmas without the boys home. Now we do nothing and go away. That is a different kind of fun and I enjoy all the decorations when we travel.

I am not exhausted after Christmas anymore 😃

I like your thinking.

I love Fredericksburg at Christmas. Gorgeous little town. Great barbecue and German food to be had. And the wildflower farm. And the wineries. And the herb farm ...

We had a posada at church tonight. It's the Mexican tradition of following Mary and Joseph about as they search for an inn or someplace where she can have the baby. There was a mariachi band performing the carols and the kids had their pageant. It was really nice. And we had a better turnout than I had expected.

I just took another batch of tarts out of the oven. I'm exhausted.

I've just put Wiener-Dog on. I didn't know Marc Shaiman wrote a title song for the movie. "The Ballad of Wiener-Dog."

I hear it's very depressing. Not sure I want that right now.

Started listening to Christmas musicals today. Got through The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical, Irving Berlin's White Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Elf. Here's Love, A Christmas Story, She Loves Me and a few more to go.
