At the risk of sounding like Scrooge, I'm not really into Christmas. I guess if I were religious and/or had grandchildren I might feel differently, but the truth is, I do best treating it as just another day. Which is what I did, and it was lovely. I started the day doing my favorite thing and that is creating dualities on the computer. This one--Duality #22--was particularly fun to put together! In the early afternoon Ed and I watched a terrific documentary video on the modern dance choreographer, Paul Taylor. At different times during the day I had wonderful phone visits with my older sister on the East Coast, my younger sister on the West Coast, and my dear friend Dorothy in San Francisco. At 5:30 p.m. Ed and I went over to our neighbor's for a festive dinner. Al even had homemade spinach lasagna as the main course because she knows I'm vegetarian. A sweet addition was music by their son who has taught himself to read music and play the piano. We were home early and went for a walk/scoot down to the lake where we saw the full moon hanging like a silver disk in the sky. And now Ed's watching TV in the kitchen and I'm upstairs at my laptop. As I write, I hear Ed start to play the piano, so I go downstairs and sing with him. The perfect ending to a perfect day.

If Christmas is your holiday, I hope it was spent with the people you love, doing whatever gives you the greatest joy.
