Christmas Eve Day

More snow.
Shoveled a couple of hours yesterday and I will have to do the same today.
Tomorrow is supposed to be clear.
I need to get out there before the freeze sets in. Yes, another one.

At least it will be a bit of a break from school work. I finished grading and now working on plans. Almost finished with the semester, then I begin next semester material. I hope to get units 3 and 4 done over the weekend. Culturally, three is about Puerto Rico and four is about Spain. Of course, I am more excited about the latter. I am going to build on my previous lesson teaching reorganization and see if I can come up with a better system.

By Sunday, I plan to be finished with work stuff, so next week I can concentrate on other things. I have a list of projects and things to do that need to be attended to. It will be busy. Hopefully, it will not snow so much.

Otherwise, tomorrow morning at Mom's, then David's family in the late afternoon.
I have things to wrap today. I think I have enough tape; using paper from the basement. I did not buy any new wrap this year.

Calls today to various people: Deirdre, Aunt Michelle, Nancy Olson, Ann, the Munros. A few way-past due, but it was OK.

You know, the holiday is not all that bad if I do not think about it too much.
