Up before 6 am because the wife has to work till about noontime. She's a nurse at a assisted living facility. Went to the gym for a quick workout and then a quick drive down to the beach to see people already out walking. The sun is shining here. A beautiful Christmas morning here in southern Maine. Merry Christmas to everyone here on "The O".

Shorts and t-shirt here, maybe some AC this afternoon, but Christmas is always and only Christmas. All the best to those who celebrate it as well as to those who don't. Peace on Earth & Goodwill Toward Men, never out of style, never out of place.

Spent yesterday killing time till evening. Took a walk to the pier on Christopher St., had the worst Indian food in creation (the entrée was so bad I went for mango ice cream for $5.00 just to kill the taste---a total of $23.00 with tip :blink:).

But all was not lost: I went to hear Kendra Shank, an always interesting vocalist, in trio with guitar and bass. Very nice and varied set, with Jobim; Abbey Lincoln; Sinatra Ralph Towner; Fred Hersch; even the inevitable Christmas chestnuts sounded good.

Happy holidays to everyone at O.

Yes, Merry Xmas.

It doesn't exist here of course, it's just an ordinary day.

Our Xmas lunch was my vegetable pulao rice, tandoori chicken and channa masala .

The missus then dished up a plate of pineapple, pears, German Xmas cake and vanilla ice cream.

We put up the tree very late this year, but it is done.

Presents were 50% wrapped last night, 50% tonight.

This year, in a break from tradition, my daughter wanted to read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

I think they are finally in bed but not asleep, so I'll get to the wrapping in a little while.

Best wishes for the season and a hope that 2018 is a better year for us all!
