andrewduckerI don't tend to have very Christmassy feelings about Christmas Day itself, what with the celebrations being the day before, and the 25th historically being a day for tidying up the chaos of all 22 members of the family visiting*. But I can honestly say that today is the _least_ Christmassy I have ever felt on Christmas Day.
On the plus side, I've had a few visits from Hugh and Meredith asking if they can bring me anything, and I do feel well looked after. And I now feel well enough to venture downstairs, find out what's been going on in the world, and possibly try and eat something small.**
*They would, of course, spend the 25th with the family of the various wives.
**And not ask about Dr Who. I'll be watching that with Julie back in Edinburgh. A Christmas tradition of our own!

Ginger-ale is supposedly good for an upset stomach. It's ginger-flavored soda pop, not real ale. Do they have it in Scotland too?
