This is cracking me up... Apparently this isn't the first year they have done this on Christmas, but Fox (TV network here in U.S.) is airing 4 hours of commercial free fireplace with Christmas carols. I have it on mute while I listen to NPR. Of course, I'm TIVOing it.

I had a wonderful long long walk this morning. Down the waterfront and up the elevator which lets you out just north of Pike Place market - I wandered by the market and down 1st street to home. Got a few pix.
So far an excellent day... except that muffin situation I mentioned earlier.
I do have a bit of a guilty conscience. This is the first christmas in at least 55 years and probably in forever that my Mom has spent alone. She has not said a word about it and has friends to eat Christmas dinner with there at the 'home'. I'm not sure she's as content to spend holidays alone as I am. We've swapped some notes today. I hope my stupid sister at least calls her and lets the kids say hi to their Monkey. I hope my brother remembers to call.
ha!
