A Fine Morning

[elfs]

There was much squealing of delight when Kouryou-chan opened up her gifts this morning. From the blacklight "secret message" pen to the Nintendo DS, and from her "As seen on TV" rhinestone beading kit (courtesy of my mother) to a horrible disease (we got her halitosis), she was a very happy camper.

Omaha was very lovely and got me one gift: a writer's retreat in March. I'm intimidated by the prospect, although I'm led to believe it's not an intensive the way Clarion is, so I think it'll be fun.

It has been a lovely Solstice, all things considered. I hope yours has been just as delightful!

And here I thought solstice was on the 21st? Is there some pagan relevance to the 25th?

Sure, it's Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, or the birthday of the invincible sun.

Nah, it's just being traditional. We don't want the kids to have their presents before everyone else.
