I have to apologize for making myself scarce here, but those familiar with me and my family know that December is always a busy month, where I find it hard to stay in touch. Every year, I am determined to write lots of Xmas postcards and emails, to keep up with your LJ posts, to write plenty of drabbles and maybe even mail a few prezzies to good friends.
Alas, every December I only get a few of these things done. I got a few drabbles written this year, so I don't feel entirely guilty, but all the postcards and emails were never written. *sigh*
I am, however, pleased to say, that our Xmas was as peaceful and happy as last year's, with my aunty (who had had surgery only a few weeks before) happy and healthy in our midst. The girls dressed up again and sang for us and played music on flute amd keyboard, and they were ecstatic when the last parcels they unwrapped turned out to contain a Wii with several games. :-)

Now that the stress of creating a perfect Xmas for the family and happy birthday parties for Mr. E and daughter #1 lies behind me, I can feel my muse tiptoeing back. And I finally have time to say thank you to everybody who left comments, sent postcards or even gifts. *hug*
I wish you all a happy, healthy and creative new year!!
