My cat does that Matt.

I am sick. I don't like it. Especially since it is starting out like the really bad stuff that happened a couple of years ago.

But Christmas Eve is ok. Doing laundry and watching Doctor Who. Pizza for dinner tonight.

Tomorrow is pork loin stuffed with sage, butternut squash, goats cheese, and something else. With Brussels spouts and bacon, rolls, smashed potatoes. With hot chocolate bread pudding for dessert.

Eggs and fruit for breakfast.

I should be wrapping presents. But I am not.

mountain cedar kicked in, so mom and I are both coughy and sneezy, but not sick. all you poor sickies, I am so sorry.

same Dana, same.

Askye I am sick too. Solidarity

ND has been in bed all day with food poisoning. Not the most fun way to spend Christmas Eve on a cruise vacation. Sorry to hear many of you are also ill.

Okay, presents wrapped. Well, presents bagged. Family currently in solidarity watching football game.

I'm sorry, Sickies! Get well. Lay low.

Emmett has stolen Matilda's toque and declared himself Christmas Chef.

It's about as chaotic as you would expect in the kitchen right now as he makes horseradish sauce from scratch.

Presents wrapped and the first four of a total eight trays of Aimee's Famous Christmas Cajun Chex Crack is cooling on the table. As soon as it's out, I shower and change and head out for Christmas Eve at the former in-laws.

Sending boat loads of ~ma to ND. I hope he is quickly done with this ick.

Sun has set off Barbados. I went to the electric candle lighting. There were families opening presents in the main ship area. Nice.

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate, also Happy Christmas Eve, and Happy Saturday Night to all. I'm in the any reason to celebrate group.

ND and hippocampus feel better soon.
