I just realized that I already had to tell no less than five people about how my Christmas went.
Since I am about to do copy & paste for it, I might as well just blog and be done with it.
In brief:
landlord replaced windows on Dec 18 & 19 (dust. Dust. Did I mention *dust*?).
I had a dentist appointment Dec 19 to which I went unwashed (8°C in the bathroom because of missing window was just NO SHOWER temperature even for me) and returned with a bruised left jaw (the fun of these pans with which they make "copies" from your whole mouth to look at while you're out to do something useful) to learn that granny was on the phone and invited almost all (as in my Aunt on another continent wasn't included) our relatives for Dec 25, because mom and I would have all weekend to get the apartment (126 sqm full of the aforementioned sticky white stone dust) cleaned up and decorated for Christmas.
Spent 2 hours on phone to sort the relatives into two groups (Dec 25 and Dec 26 - or as I put it: A&As (agreeables & assholes)), because there are some among them who just don't mix (without explosions of the nasty variety).
Finished Christmas decoration at 2 am on Dec 25, had the first A for turkey at 14 pm on Dec 25. Turkey tasted... somehow. The stuff I had to use until yesterday for the bruised jaw had a decided mint/menthol flavor that didn't go well with rice, raisins, honey, and cinnamon on the turkey (besides, chewing still hurt (at least not any more now)).
Dec 26 As were fed with cheap Italian cake (with silver cutlery) and instant coffee. When they were finally gone, there were 4 hours left of Dec 26, which I used to a) find the Spirit of Christmas and b) kick him solidly in the arse.
Dec 27 was nice.
I should have kicked the Spirit of Christmas on Dec 23! ;)
