Seven weeks ago, I posted that we were mulling over what to do about Christmas this year. As it happened, LC and I had a conversation on the topic about six weeks ago and more or less locked it down - we were basically in agreement, and so other than leaving some time to let it settle there wasn't much more to say. Still, I did say I don't start my Christmas countdown until 100 days before, and so it isn't until now that I'm ready to share.
The upshot is that we're more or less going to repeat what we did last year: we'll host people for the big meal at Christmas. I'll head over to see some other family on Christmas Eve, and then we'll meet with everyone for the big gathering on Boxing Day, but Christmas Day itself will be a local walk followed by a large meal, followed by TV. (For the TV, since there's no "Wallace & Gromit" and no "Doctor Who", we've identified a recent film that we'll carefully avoid watching until then, and use that as our centerpiece. Until FS and S! object, that is.)
I think that means we're now getting towards settling our core "Christmas experience". That may be another post for when the season is really underway.
