After all the crazy of a Sunday that also was Christmas Eve, it's nice to unwind. Christmas Day services are small, casual (the clergy doesn't even put on their vestments, just a stole - like a military priest in a field chapel). There's carols with Steve B on the piano, there's a tiny altar set up under the Nativity window. It's lovely.
Then after church, Marita (my daughter in law's mom) hosted us for lunch and I brought my gifts to give to everyone. The afghan I made for Angie was well received, as was the hat for Marita. JC had already got his 'big' gift - a meat grinder/sausage maker. I gave it to him early so he could process the deer he got hunting. This is the second year in a row that he's filled his tag on opening day!
The rest of the day has been very quiet, I've been piecing away on Ringo Lake Clue #4. I have the seam guide set just perfectly for this one. The trimming is literally thread ends and fluff. So I don't want to move it to do a foundation pieced clue! I need to set up another machine for the clues that I'm doing with foundation piecing.
And for the first time in several years, it's a white Christmas. It's a good time to sit back and just nest.
