Christmas Eve.
24 Dec 2008 10:00 pmAh, home from church, D-d read well and was happy to be doing the Isaiah reading as it had not been a cause for dissension amongst any of the heretical sects she has spent the last term studying!!
Now the cake is decorated - for those of you who have seen our various Christmas cakes over the years ( there is apicture of this year's one here )
The house is filled with the scent of frankincense and myrrh candles and orange and cinamon ones too, as well as the smell of spices from the red cabbage which is already slowly cooking.
The tiny turkey is in a bowl of spiced brine in the fridge, and there is bacon wrapped around sausages all ready to cook.
D-d is looking out her Christmas stocking, and I only have S2C's presents to wrap - which I will do in a minute as he is at work until 6a.m.
There are a few other Christmas pics here too ( The tree, the hallway and a few angels for Laurie )
I was going to post a Return of The Key story - but this is probably not the most sensible time, and so, although chapter 1 (of 3) is beta'd, chapter 2 written, and chapter 3 almost finished, I'll start after Christmas. It is a pretty angst-free bit of romance.
So - enjoy tomorrow, whether you are celebrating Christ's birth, celebrating Father Christmas, or just happy to have a day off work!
I'm going to finish my glass of port, wrap those last presents, sweep the kitchen floor, and look forward to starting the day tomorrow with coffee and church.
