We had a lovely Christmas, alternating between chaotic, quiet and exhausted. Now we’re settling in to a clean house and a quiet week.
When the kids were too tired to get excited about building snowmen, I built my own, a wee family standing on a bench by the back door. I used dried grapes from the grapevine for eyes – they were gone within a day. I’m not sure why grapes on snow are more appealing than grapes on the vine – a gourmet touch for the birds and squirrels, perhaps.
The gift that’s given us the most fun is a magic wand/TV remote we bought for the kids. It’s hysterical watching them sitting on the sofa waving a wand at the TV, cursing when it turns off instead of turning on. Errant magic, hard at work.
