Shir lives in Jerusalem and Nilly is north of Tel Aviv - neither live close to where the missile landed in Jaffa, thankfully.
Oh, I have that mixed up!
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Just finished my Christmas shopping. Just about four hours, so not bad. Store was not at all crowded, and I saw lots of pretty house lights on the way there and back.
Tomorrow, we get up earlyish to tidy for my friend who is dog and cat sitting, then we drive to elder nephew's house (about an hour) for hugs and presents (mostly for the grand niblings -- nephew and wife have graduated to a Harry & David gift -- basically, I'm carrying on my mom's tradition of sending those)... and pick up the presents to take up to my other sister's place, which is another three hours or so.
Supposed to be icy in the morning, so we may leave later than planned, but it doesn't really matter. No real schedule of activities.
Coming back on Thursday after brunch with DH's mom. (She'll spend holiday with other son and grandkids while we're at my sister's; works out well).

I am off work for the next 9 days! Yay! Except I promised to check my email every day because D, who is acting for me, does not have the best judgment. I'm hoping nothing important comes up.
tonight I need to roast a bunch of veggies (that would otherwise wilt), and make shortbread, and maybe start a challah.
However right now I am on the couch with a dog on my knees and an old fashioned next to me, and I don't really want to move...

Good strategy.
I just had a Buffista visit with Hayden, who was out to California visiting some family. He brought along his friends Paul and Heather, and his son Abe.
So I showed them around Haight Street and the neighborhood, and when we got shut out of finding a restaurant we just came back to my house and we shared some champagne, cheese and crackers. Matilda sat in with us during the conversation eating her DoorDashed Udon noodles.
I guess I have all the presents that are going to arrive on time and I'm just not going to stress about the late arrivals. Everybody will have something.

That sounds like a lovely evening! What's not to like about champagne, cheese, and crackers?
The shortbread is chilling in the fridge. I will make challah tomorrow.
