Book completed

A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. J. read it aloud to me, from here, and we looked at the original illustrations. Interestingly, instead of five chapters, it has five "staves," as in the lines in a musical staff, evoking his "carol" theme. Much more witty than I expected - we quite enjoyed it.

Day 1009: A merry Christmas Eve

Today we rushed about doing last-minute things, then we did our Christmas Eve tradition of photographing cats in front of the tree. Then we opened gifts, and I made spaghetti, then called my sister and invited them for tomorrow. Then J. obliged me with a second playthrough of the Cthulhu Saves Christmas game - so funny - and then we did some of Santa's work with the stockings. More details tomorrow, I am sure.
