Hello!

So.. did everyone get what they wanted under the Christmas tree this  
year?

I think this year is the first time I haven't received a call from  
anyone on Christmas day.  But, I don't seem to mind it. I have to  
deal with a lof of people face-to-face and on the phone during the  
week at the shop.  I switch on the "be social" button and the smiles  
when I am there, and prefer the "do not disturb" option when I get  
home.

The phone seemed to have a problem NOT being to receive calls. Not  
sure how long that problem pre-existed! A caller might hear one  
ring, but then there would be one loud click, and then nothing. That  
was happening on both of the land lines. I could test this by  
calling those lines with my cell phone. I could make an outgoing  
call on the land lines if I wanted to, but both lines had a lot of  
scratchy noises and hum.  Today, one line has cleared up and is  
working again. But the other line is still broken.

I received plenty of homemade cookies, some preserves, jam, roasted  
tamari almonds, chocolate, some famous Latvian candies, and a bottle  
of wine.

I finished off the cookies yesterday. The roasted tamari almonds  
were long gone (they were the best!)

Considering that I have eliminated sugar from my regular eating  
plans for several years (and I threw out over 20 lbs of sugar -  
bagged and cubed - over 5 years ago), the cookies and candies spun  
me out of control.
