Christmas Vacation

Miranda’s been finished exams for a week, and Tammy still has a “work” day today, but Ian and I are finished school/work.

Wrapping, last minute shopping, etc. today. Christmas Eve tomorrow. It’s snowing lightly now at -23. It’s been around -30 for a week.

This week, Ian got an award at school. We got a letter last Friday:
