the Christmas report

Here it is, Dec 25, and I have awoken at a country 'house' (of 20 rooms...) where my very gracious hosts have awoken wearing 5 layers of clothes and coats to battle the frigid +15 temps (hehehe) and to stuff me full of all manner of food and drink. I am feeling so welcomed here. The week ahead will be smack with enjoyment, esp with GP on the roster first thing tomorrow! Off to eat more.
