Karl, babe... no need to be anxious; think about how lucky they are to see you!(of course, I'm biased in that, as always) Tep, tough break. Shir, we think of you a lot.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Merry Christmas/Solstice/etc to all! I'm down here in Houston with my folks and feeling very lucky to have both of them. We've reached the point where more of the presents under the tree are mine for them than the other way around.

Merry Christmas everyone! I got in a run in the redwoods, and a hot shower (how are we so lucky to have hot water on demand, think of that!), and ate a custard bun, and now I'm on my way to my sister's to start working on the turkey.
I do not understand all the people who can spend most of Christmas day reading the Yuletide archive: my holiday is always quite busy!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I have made my dutiful Christmas Day phone call, and now if all goes well I won't have to speak to another person until tomorrow. ::fingers crossed::

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Turns out this is almost certainly not food poisoning, because now Tim has stomach woes as well. This is probably some kind of gastroenteritis, which blows. We're going to do a drive-by to drop off presents for his family, and then come back home and eat bland food.
We did take Covid tests just to be sure, because Covid can have gastrointestinal symptoms. Tests were negative, so at least we've got that going for us.

Tep and Tim...the worst. Have had a few childhood Xmas ruined like that.

Ugh! I'm sorry, Teppy. May this pass quickly, so to speak.

Ugh I was looking at my Facebook memories and saw the year we had norovirus from Santa…hope it passes quickly Teppy!
I’ll be reading Yuletide later, but for now am in the hot tub with a fresh mimosa…
