That day which is celebrated as Christmas by much of the Western World. May you all have a great celebration. Be kind to your families and to one another, and have a very merry day.
Quang's is closed today (it's Tuesday, dontchaknow) and so we're probably going to have to settle for duck. Thong is convinced that the roasting chickens I got on sale at Cub Foods are utterly too big to cook and eat.
I'm thinking fire in the fireplace, and wishing I'd cleaned it out before. The new roof and flashing appears to have shaken a few things loose from up above that proceeded to fill up the wood holder Thong always stashes in there over the summer. And the fireplace tools. I don't think I've used it since the furnace went in in April.
Again, Merry Christmas.
