I’ve been working on the circular shawl and the gift mitts pretty exclusively and will continue to do so over the holiday weekend.  I’d really like to get the mitts done before my next hospital visit next Tuesday so I can pass them along.  Myria thinks I should wait until closer to Christmas and she does have a point.  But I keep thinking about how the weather is getting colder and that they will be useful far in advance of December 25th.  So I’m going to try to get them done :)

Dad and I are headed up to a nice restaurant in New Hampshire this afternoon for our Thanksgiving dinner.  The place isn’t open tomorrow, so we’re going to go today.  It’s a nice compromise since neither of us is up to cooking a big dinner and Myria isn’t a big holiday celebrator (celibratrix?) anyway.

Tomorrow, I will break out the traditional Christmas films - not, you know, generally traditional, but chez-wolfandturtle traditional - starting with Miracle on 34th Street.  Of course the amazing and wonderful Hogfather will get worked into the rotation as well.  Maybe twice…

I’ll have the Chat room open Saturday night, though I realize that those of you in the states may be traveling and/or visiting with family and friends.  Should you find yourself in the virtual neighborhood, do drop in!  I’ll break out the eggnog (it’s time!) and gingerbread.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday (and remainder of the week as well!) whether it’s a holiday for you or not :)
