all is bright

The cats still haven't learned that the tree is not for their personal entertainment, although playing with the boxes and wrapping paper this morning was a good diversion.

We are having a good and relaxed family time. Too many presents (as usual). Baked goodness, stollen and scones. The kittens and cats making great progress in co-existing.

I was spoiled with many gifts for my hobbies, and I would like to share one that our potter made for me, a beautiful bowl to contain my yarn and guide it when I am knitting.

For tonight and tomorrow we are under blizzard warning- we haven't seen any snowflakes as of yet, but my love has chopped some wood in preparation. I love to be 'snowed in' but can't help thinking about the problems such weather can also cause for many other people. Wishing everyone a warm and safe holiday.
