yuuuuuletide!
You guys! For Yuletide, I got The Lie Direct, which is Touchstone and Jaques on What It Is To Be A Fool! This pleases me in very many ways. :-)
I hope you all like your presents too!
"eta" midnight approx: Oh my god, did I never post this this (12/25) morning? D'OH! So okay, update: recipient likes her present too, apparently, so that's good, and out here in the real world, I got (among other things) the complete set of Slings & Arrows on DVD and also my own swift and winder so I don't have to keep going to the yarn shop to wind up yarn I bought elsewhere -- they're very nice about it, and I do buy things from them as well, but still. So now I have my own, hurrah. And both my brother and sister-in-law like what there is of their socks, and are not at all perturbed that in neither case is this a pair of socks. (My sister-in-law even gave my father a knitted hat and explained that the scarf isn't done yet, in the grand tradition of knitted gifts not being ready on time. Hee!)
Then there were latkes at dinnertime. All in all, on balance, a good day.
