This is a first

[gerisullivan]

It wasn't by deliberate choice or decision, but this has turned out to be the first Christmas since I learned how to apply wrapping paper to a package that I somehow managed to arrive on this day without having done so for a single Christmas present. A few minutes ago, I tied decorative ribbon around two gifts I hope to deliver to day, but not a single present has been wrapped here at Toad Woods, or anywhere else, either.

This isn't a problem; I do find it remarkably surprising.

I hope your Christmas Day is full of interesting, welcome surprises!
