We had our big family Christmas dinner last night, languishing by the pool, listening to music in the pavilion and dining like kings. Children were delighted by presents and Santa came and went.
Today is a slightly lower key thing with my mother and brother coming over for a mostly left-overs lunch that should be delightful. I think we’re all a bit tired from last night, so the day should run a bit more quietly I think.
And with that in mind: a seasonal wish for you and your loved ones. While I celebrate a traditional Christmas (sans all the religious stuff because, well, that’s not my thing), I completely understand that many, many of you do not. So a simple end-of-year wish. May the coming year bring you and your loved ones, health, wealth and happiness.
And books! It’s the books we want, dammit!
All the best seasonal wishes to Jonathan and his entire family; may this Christmas be a tranquil and happy one.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jonathan. I hope the rest of the year is relaxing and peaceful for all of you. Next year proves to be very exciting with all the stuff you are involved in and I cannot wait to partake of all the goodness you are sending our way in 2010.
All the best to you too, my friend. Here’s to catching up sometime in 2010!
