"We Wish You Were Merry, Christmas"

Title quote by 3-year-old Ben, with my comma inserted to make the joke.

We are having a lovely, quiet Christmas Eve.  We're looking forward to clam chowder, candlelit carols, and stockings before bed.  The children will open the 24 on the Advent calendar - the homey Advent calendar my parents got in Germany before I was born.

And tomorrow, Christmas service and then curry and presents with family. Hopefully a walk in the crisp winter air.

May your Christmas be merry, too
