Nadolig Llawen or Happy Christmas to those who celebrate, and Happy Holidays to those who celebrate something else.

We have just put our three bird roast in the oven. Looking forward to finding out what it is like.

Just a minor update.

I have to do my Christmas cards – not looking forward to wrangling Word into labels. Sigh.

Cats are both well, though Opal spent this afternoon throwing the cushions off the sofa, for no reason that I could discern.

Gaming continues apace, I’m running one of our DnD’s, and I suspect that the party may be captured next week, and have to get out of the prison. As a GM, that makes me rub my hands together with glee.

Merry Christmas everyone! As I type this my chicken (not a turkey for just me!) is smelling divine, and all I have to do is decide what veggies to put with it from the variety I have in the freezer.

Great presents from all, and I'm wearing the sparkly earrings I got from [livejournal.com profile] gloria1.

I'm missing the Aged P. rather more than I did last year, but I'm OK really.

And Merry Whatever, for those who don't.

I'm doing better than I expected with being alone. I miss the Aged P., but I'm glad not to have had to travel and I've spent the morning in selfish reading of a book, which I wouldn't have been able to do at her house.

I ordered a chicken to eat, and that's in the oven. Tesco didn't have the size I ordered so sent what they had. When it arrived I just noted that it was bigger than I ordered and put it in the fridge. On looking at it when I came to put it in the oven, I realised that the packaging says that it feeds eight. So there's going to be a lot of chicken curry in my future.

Trimmings are things I like rather than the traditional things. Go me!

Presents are a very good haul, [livejournal.com profile] gloria1 gave me some teabags from Betty's of Harrogate, which are particularly welcome. I love me my tea.

My brother has sent me some Dr Who vids, which I'm going to watch this afternoon while I wait for the Dr Who Christmas special.

There is also champagne in my future, and I have enough chocolates to sink a battleship.
