just hubby and me and mookie, good company in my book.

will have some friends over at some point, they have 4 young ones. we're kind of their adopted aunt and uncle. kind of makes up for family being so far away.

had my research students over for dinner already, that was really nice.

we had talked about going to the bahamas and having a very nontraditional christmas since i am on sabbatical (not teaching, supposed to be doing research) but then i hurt my back at the end of the summer and that changed everything. need to be patient though, can now drive in the car for 10 minutes without ice without too much of a setback, so i am improving...... hopefully within the next year or so i'll be able to travel again.

so this year, just another quiet peaceful christmas.
