calm & bright

I am safely arrived and finally unpacked! Weather.com hazards snow tomorrow and promises it Sunday, which makes me pretty delighted; never once in my life have I actually had snow on Christmas. It would be nice, and slightly surreal.

This afternoon it is going to be all tree-decorating and cookie-baking and, if we're feeling up to it, the Unitarian Christmas mass tonight. I am determinedly dressing in festive things (by which I mean a red Irish step-dancing dress, not, say, a sweater with reindeer on) and ignoring the fact that I have my stupid annual Christmas head cold. Basically I am mainlining all the tea in the house. The cookies I bake will taste excellent, and I will have enough voice to sing Silent Night later.

...In between all of this, of course, I am also trying to write a million Yuletide Treats. Will I actually finish any of them? Who knows! I'm having fun anyway.

Well and in Milwaukee the snow-plows do double duty as garbage trucks, which is eminently sensible. What vehicles could have double roles in the South? Police cars?
