No compelling links or intriguing stories or big thoughts or deep opinions on societal issues this morning. Just a quiet Christmas morning, our last in Colorado after twenty-three years. The kids aren't home this year for Christmas morning, though our daughter flies in tomorrow, and our son will be here next week for several days together over New Year's and the end of 2025.
Last night, we spent a warm, wonderful Christmas Eve out, enjoying the vibrant scene of Old Town in Fort Collins. A stroll around the shops open for some last minute shopping, a cozy visit to the local speakeasy -- Social -- with exquisite cocktails, fun banter about bourbon, and a simple festive spirit, and then a nostalgic trip to the local arcade, playing Skee-Ball, Ms. Pac-Man, and plenty of pinball.
And, this morning, though there's no Colorado snow down here on the Front Range this year, we are enjoying our "quiet Christmas morning," sipping coffee with eggnog and chilling by the fireplace.
