I am reading one story per night.

I am glad that the group chose a Christmastime item to reinforce for me aspects of the season other than what stores are doing.

Well, I think I'm taking a short trip to the UK for this one. Now, I wonder if there are any spare coupons around?

ETA: My quick trip to the UK is finished, and I have a new book to show for it. I look forward to starting it tonight.

Apropos, there is a single-panel comic "strip" in our local paper each day called Argyle Sweater. The Christmas Day comic has a woman returning her Christmas presents to the store (the birds a-laying) "On the 13th Day of Christmas." !!!
