Santa Hammy got out for some vital Christmas shopping today, despite still feeling a little draggy after last week's surgery. It was good to get out among the shoppers and the decorated shops, and I think I found some special gifts for my sweetheart, with a few more still to be found.

Our plans finally got worked out for Christmas dinner: Up at Jamie's beautiful home, we'll be joining Jamie and Amy and the kids and Luke and his family and Matty for a family celebration. Looking forward to it!! (Sadly, we'll miss Aaron, because he's spending Christmas with his dad. Good for him and his dad, not so good for us.)
