Monday 12/24/07 – Christmas Eve. More preparations, errands, and cooking. We had a Christmas feast of red snapper and Brussels sprouts, played Scategories, had dessert of poached pears, had 20 minutes of organized religion, and watched movies, to Christmas soundtracks and Guitar Hero III in between. Wrapped presents.
Tuesday 12/25/07 – Christmas Day. Slept in. The crowd made coffee and opened stockings; then came the presents. Asha and Jai got sweaters and other clothes. Ben got a new coat and briefcase; books: The World Without Us, Transit Maps of the World, and Movies.
Wednesday 12/26/07 – Boxing Day – Rev. Robert Benjamin Gribbon I Birthday. Drove to Church Creek Maryland and had tea and presents with family and relatives. Thanks everyone for the books and pecans. Opened presents with Hannah and Holly.
Thursday 12/27/07 – Rob and Ben made brunch. Drive home, stopped for groceries at the food coop, and tried to take a nap. Then saw Charlie Wilson’s War at Lowe’s Centrepark.
Friday 12/28/07 – Met the Dunns (Tom, Susan, Ellen, Michael) and friends for Lunch in Washington DC at Bistro Du Coin. We enjoyed Haagarden Belgian Beer, Tartine à la tapenade, jambon cru et gruyère and other open-face sandwiches, salads, escargot and other emals. The went to the Corcoran Gallery, stood in line, and saw the Ansel Adams and Annie Leibowitz exhibits.
After Maryland Terrapins defeated University of Delaware in basketball, Dave and Sabrina Lovell came over with Bob and Erin to watch the Emerald bowl. Bob and Erin were excited about “touchdowns” but even more excited about Pumpkin, chips, toys, Rudolph, and playing downstairs. Too bad it was hot upstairs and cold downstairs. Maryland terps lost in the Emerald Bowl.
Saturday 12/29/07 – I’ve come down with a cold and am finding as many ways as I can to clear my head. Ugh. Patriots defeat the Giants at the Meadowlands to complete a 16-0 undefeated season and set 2 new records with touchdowns from Tom Brady to Randy Moss. What a game!
