estepheiaLuckily, Christmas and Mr. Estepheia's birthday happened without a glitch. We didn't feel excessively festive but we had lots of visitors and plenty of food.
We always have too much food because for some reason it would be a catastrophe of epic proportions if there wasn't enough. I guess I was just brought up that way. I was also brought up to tidy up and dust and hoover, but this aspect of my gender-related brainwashing never took hold.
Mr. Estepheia is now the proud owner of the LotR special edition with all the extra scenes, some cinema vouchers and a few other gift vouchers which he plans spending on CDs.
This morning we played one of our new boardgames, namely a brand-new variant of The Settlers of Catan (one with a prehistoric theme). I lost by a margin, because of a risk I took combined with just a bit of bad luck. I'm afraid I complained most of the time. But it was a good game, very well-balanced. If I don't complain about a game then it's boring and not worth playing. I am not normally that competitive, but when it comes to gaming I am obnoxious and people have to develop a certain selective deafness.
It's Katharina's birthday on Saturday, but the party is on Sunday. At least I don't have to organize a party for the 31st. For the first time in years we've been invited to a party. Yay!
