Adventures in Fresh Air: Christmas walks.

Full disclosure: I can be a homebody. The pandemic didn’t help that at all. Accordingly, I’m trying to default to saying ‘Yes’ to ‘Let’s do this for Christmas!’ suggestions this year, and I have to admit that it’s working out so far. Case in point: we went on a combination Christmas Lights walk and cocktails stations thingy this evening.

We didn’t drink-drink, mind you. But the eggnog martinis were very nice, and so was the cherry bourbon cocktail, and my wife is going to find that chocolate stout again for later. So, hey: success!

There’s an Icelandic Christmas Eve book-gifting tradition!

At least, so I have been told. I suppose that I could check, only I’m not going to. Where’s the benefit in that, after all?

I am not saying, go buy my books and give them to people. I am saying, make all the independent authors you read very happy today and gift one of their books to somebody. Christmas weekend is an important time for a lot of these folks, especially when the Amazon gift cards fall like rain tomorrow. They’ll love you forever if you give the gift of them, and they won’t even know your name…
