Yesterday: made two batches of cookies, a batch of "June-bug" chili (with whole almonds playing the title role), and a loaf of sourdough bread. Watched a Festival of Lessons and Carols from York Minster. Watched "Rudolph". Got to bed close to 1 AM after watching Christmas Eve service from the National Cathedral. Up at 2 AM to walk a sick dog. Up again at 8 AM to walk a sick dog. He'll probably be over it by tomorrow, but today bodes ill.
I dreamed that I had written a filk song (to some Simon & Garfunkel tune) and was premiering it before an audience, with some anxiety over whether they would get it and laugh at the right places, and I discovered that if you use the wrong word here, it confuses the audience so they don't get the joke there.
Today: make and eat our traditional Christmas-morning poffertjes/aebleskiver. Open prezzies. Make sausage stuffing, make some kind of green vegetable, heat a smoked turkey and eat that for dinner. Walk dogs a couple of times. If it stops raining, play some medieval Christmas music on shawms from the front steps. We have out-of-town friends coming over for dinner tomorrow night, so there will need to be cleaning and grocery-shopping, of which the grocery-shopping can probably wait until tomorrow.
