Day 8.349: What passes for "quiet"

I guess when discussing our Christmas plans, we probably used the word "quiet" once or twice to mean that we weren't traveling, or having a big family gathering or anything. It doesn't actually mean it was quiet of course.

We managed to chat with most of the family on Skype or Facetime and then there was all this:

Fun with a selfie-stick, novel decorations on the Christmas cake, some origami, unwrapping, toppling dominos, smashing a geode, confusion caused by mislabeled gifts and a marvelous meal.

and a number of other things.

Happy/Merry Christmas to all!
