Well, the stockings were hung, and then unhung. Lula loves loves loves her peacoat. Chrissy is thrilled with her giraffe bag and her hair straigtener, and I am wrapped up cozy in my new cozy blue robe, getting ready to make coffee on my new tiny little Italian espresso maker thingie that I only have to plug in!

And now we're going to clear all the paper away, light a fire and watch the first two Harry Potters back to back.

Merry, merry Christmas. All things considered, I feel very lucky and blessed.
