It’s a low-key Christmas here at Chez Geeque. I’ve got 2 pies in the oven, and I’m thinking about making a batch of cookies now that the oven is the right temperature. It’s raining, which is depressing, and I’m listening to This American Life‘s Christmas Spectacular (which may prove to be depressing also, but quirky and entertainingly so). As a bonus, they offer their entertaining “In a world…” promo tags as downloadable MP3s. I’ve been laughing at these all week. Jesus has never had such a happy birthday.

Tonight I’ll sing at the evening service at Holy Moly, share some food with everyone else at the reception aftward, and get home in time to enjoy the quiet.

Tomorrow, a big pancake breakfast for just David and me, then late in the afternoon, Hanukkah at Dan and Deb’s. Latkes! Yum!
