happy solstice

So it's the winter solstice.

BrilliantEditor and I went to a winter solstice/wine tasting party and had a lovely time. Everyone brought a bottle of wine and we hid the bottle under a paper bag (always classy). Then we rated the wines. The winner of the worst bottle of wine was the fellow who has won for the past three years (at least). His prize was a bottle of blush wine from a crappy winery. The wine was called "Santa's Blush".

I'm betting that it won't be good.

The winner of best bottle got a set of wine notification tag things. You know those things, I'm sure. They identify whose wine is whose.

There were many babies and children there. Some of them were very, very noisy. All of them had some aspect of cuteness. I named one "Li'l Stumpy." His mom was proud of his thick ankles and sturdy feet.

I don't think she cared much for the name.

But it's Christmas! And shouldn't everyone be given a gift?
