There are, in many traditions, 12 days of Christmas, either beginning on December 13, St. Lucie's Day (and my birthday) and continuing through December 25, or beginning on the 25th and continuing through Epiphany. I think that second option is how we're doing it this year. Yesterday was the big celebration, gift exchange, feasting, etc. Today my spouse picked up his new car. You've heard the phrase "a kid with a new toy?" I've hardly seen him all day as he added, adjusted, and tweaked various parts. Tomorrow is packing day. over the weekend we will be celebrating Christmas with our oldest son and family in Milwaukee. On the 30th we will be joining friends for dinner, then attending the Boar's Head Festival. Then of course comes New Year's Eve and New Year's Day which we will be celebrating quietly at home. For Christmas my daughter and son-in-law gave me a lovely engraved wine glass and a bottle of my favorite wine, so I know how I'll be ringing in the new year. My spouse will be right here with me, with a glass of his favorite wine. And then it will be January and our first anniversary will be almost upon us. What a year it has been.
