Have been having so much fun saying Merry Christmas to anyone & everyone. It seems that the PC "Happy Holidays" is on it's way out. Perfect strangers in stores and on the phone have been saying it to me and what a happy thing. For me, it' a lovely phrase to denote love of family, peace and goodwill toward all. Even if you don't celebrate, surely that's okay...
Nice beach walk this morning on Christmas Eve day. A tad chilly, but someone was out waterskiing and a family was suiting up in life jackets to use the canoes our foundation provides for paddling through the inlet. Not the snowflake weather everyone hopes for, but nice. Mark finally talked to Walter (who watches our house at Star Mt.) and he said 3 feet of big,wet heavy snow has fallen on the house in the last 5 days. Whoo.
We went to St. George & Dragon restaurant with our good friends Andy & Andrea for a holiday dinner. This is a restaurant I started going to over 40 years ago. Ooops,
that was a stab in the spot where I think I'm still young. Yes I was a kid, but still - anyway, this old style, men needing jackets, great food, normally pitch as black restaurant is a sentimental place for all four of us. My grandparents and Andrea's mother went there frequently for many years. We hadn't been in forever, but the food is still great (prime rib and snapper to die for), and specially lit up for the holidays.
Book update: #61 Comforts of a Muddy Saturday by Alexander McCall Smith (part of a series set in Scotland) really enjoy them all and #62 Must You Go by Antonia Fraser. Her memoirs of life with her famous playwright & screenwriter husband Harold Pinter (he died two years ago and she's a prolific historical writer) Very engrossing... And people are asking - one was hardback and one was on the Kindle. I jump from one to other - common behavior? don't know...
Merry Christmas everyone. Be safe, be happy!
