Not so much with the Merry and Bright

The funeral is Friday, so I'll be flying south tomorrow afternoon, returning Sunday evening. We've done some abbreviated Christmas celebrating, with plans to do the rest once everyone is back in town in the New Year. Right now I'm mostly just glad that the Hatchling is so little that she doesn't really know the difference; she's just excited to be getting awesome toys and eating so many cookies.

Anyway: posting will be minimal or naught for a bit. Hope you're all having festive, relaxing, holidays, through which I can live vicariously.
