Christmas & New Year

I see that I haven't written anything in here for a while so I think I'd better report how the festive season has gone for me.

Christmas Eve

Margaret was working in the morning and also had to return to put her client to bed. This was very practical for me, since it meant that she had to stay sober so she could drive. She was very kind and drove me to Kjell and Maggan's, then after a while left me there to go to work, and later returned to take me home!


Christmas has always been quite practical for us since as we celebrate on the day (or quite often on Boxing Day) the Swedish tradition is to meet up for a lot of food and some drinks on Chistmas Eve, Julafton. This means that Ruth and Edward are available to be with their in-laws for Julafton, and with us on the 25th or 26th.

This year now that we have a grandchild we suggested that it would be nice to rotate the hosting, and we all met up at Ruth, Johnnie and Victor's on Boxing day. It was a very nice day, for us at least, and Ruth admitted that it was a lot of work. It was very nice to have Nut Roast instead of the usual turkey, I've missed nut roasts since we stopped being veggy.


New Year's Eve
Once again Margie was working. We were both invited to Maggan and Kjell's so I walked there and Margie came later and was once again able to drive me home.

And now it's 2009. Today Margie and I had a nice meal together at last.
