Haven't put up any decorations yet and haven't sent out all the cards
either

Just not in the mood for it this year.
Will be making some stollen to give as gifts to a chosen few (among whom
are the people who keep my mother's car running).
Some boxes of dried red chiles will be sent but after Christmas; the
queues are just too long for my lack of patience. Anyone want dried red
chiles? Not grown in our garden.
Anyone want dried rosemary? No fresh available until the spring
