As far as the market is concerned, Christmas is over—the post-Christmas sales are in full force—but liturgically, Christmas is in its third day, with nine more to go. On Christmas Eve, we attended an early evening church service at the Advocate, then came home to eat tamales, which we'd ordered from someone here in the apartment complex who makes them as her home business.
The next morning we opened the couple of Christmas presents we'd received (we're sparing about giving presents, so we don't receive many). Talked with my parents by phone. In the afternoon, I attended a small Christmas Day service at the Advocate's little home-office, which is also where I lead monthly Taize services. Then went home to have dinner with Hugo and a neighbor—the young man who organized the protests against management here in our apartment complex two summers ago.
Last night (Dec. 26), Hugo and I attended a Boxing Day party at the home of a British friend. Everyone was supposed to bring some kind of short performance piece (poem, etc.). Hugo and I did a reading of David Ives's short play "Sure Thing," which we last performed a few years ago at a similar kind of party in Salt Lake.
I don't know where I'm going with all this, except to say that I've enjoyed the low-key celebration.
