Christmas has arrived!
As usual, I am awake first, and the main business of the day has not yet begun - although my wife and I have exchanged stockings - she went back to sleep, and the kids are also asleep.
It's still almost black dark outside (last I looked), and dry; although it rained a little during the early hours. I am warming the house, reading, writing notes; and listening to a CD of folk carols and medieval Christmas songs; from-which the above carol is taken - sung by the incomparable Maddy Prior. Exactly the right spirit for today.
Ah! I hear sounds of movement upstairs... It begins.
Merry Christmas to my co-bloggers, readers, and commenters.
