One of the logs made P sneeze terribly

[infryq]

Yesterday was a very chill Christmas. We had breakfast together, M and P took their traditional excursion to Dunkin Donuts to tip the workers heavily, M and D went for a walk. I finished a handkerchief for T. In the afternoon we all played scrabble, board score 496, very respectable for four players. M’s A had sent two embroideries to give out, and I delivered the sachets. Extended family has sent a very nice holiday lap quilt and some molasses cookie packed in marshmallows. M and P put a fire in the fireplace. Dinner was lamb shanks and couscous for them, and red lentil pin oat stew for me. More fire and family time with nibbles afterwards; P and I played the type game until we got stuck. I played a round of Paperback while M let the fire burn down. Snack, sleep. Dreams about conditioning drills, roasting potatoes in home ec, an underground tunnel complex subverting the security of a vault, a mischievous pair of children.
