Christmas tree update: We added cranberries. We consider our tree a work in progress for all of December.
I got out in the shop and made some more ornaments on the lathe. That might be it for this year.
Charlie’s daycare class had a Christmas luncheon and Amanda made the menus and flowers.
We made some more Christmas cookies. Charlie stamped them. Using a circle cutter as a guide helped tremendously.
Charlie and I spent two hours exploring Depew park in a very open-ended way. As long as he wasn’t in danger or about to jump in the pond, I didn’t interfere with where he wanted to go. He loved it.
Charlie and I also took a night walk in the woods with his flashlight.
We sent out the last batch of Christmas cards today. We need to start writing them a bit earlier next year ðð¬

I finished The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler this week and started Dancing at the Rascal Fair by Ivan Doig and Liberty’s DaughterArchived Link by Naomi Kritzer.
I joined a local Discord group and got included in some local Twitter lists. I am starting to feel like that was a mistake. The complainers tend to congregate there and complain together because no one else will listen to them. There they feel heard. Not really my kind of place.
To quote Frank Chodorov, “One is a crowd.”
I’m looking forward to some time off next week. I need it this year. The last six months feel like a blur to me.
That’s all I’ve got.
