Hopefully everyone is having a lovely holiday morning (or if you don’t celebrate Christmas, having a lovely morning anyway). DH and I are lounging in our study, enjoying our coffee, and trying not to be sad that we aren’t with family this year. All the old folks (grandparents, great-aunts and uncles) are visiting today and we didn’t want to spread this flu around to them–it could very easily kill an elderly person, I think. It knocked us off our feet and we are young and healthy.

My wishful thinking didn’t work: I do have bronchitis now. Ick. *hack hack* *wheeze wheeze*

Anyway, we will have “christmas” on Saturday with our families, who have promised to save a little cheer for us until then. In the meantime, we will have a quiet day at home, finish our shopping tomorrow (since we were too sick to do it earlier this week), and maybe go see a movie. I intend to enjoy the holiday, even if I’m lonely for my family.

Merry Christmas! Peace on Earth!!
