Spectacular day. Best weather so far. Warm enough to have Christmas dinner ( for those who care - roasted chicken with appkes and rosemary, roasted parsnips and beets, and sauteed brussels). out on the deck....
.... and to try out the hot tub.
I read on the internet that an Icelandic tradition is to give books on Christmas Eve and then spend Christmas reading and eating chocolates. No idea if it’s true, but seemed like a good idea so we exchanged books and Jo brought Leonidas chocolates to complete the ritual. Very enjoyable whether ethnographically correct or not
