Gifthunting. Someone else got Niamh's planned Christmas gift for my mother, so she had to rethink. I suggested something that Mum had admired when she was here in November. So today Aoife and I went out and got it. It's delightful, and not extortionately expensive.

I can't remember what else we did; we went to Homebase and bought Christmas decorations, and at some point we bought a Christmas tree and partially decorated it. I gave Aoife her Christmas present, which isn't as nice as what she gave us (a lovely statuette for the library, which happens to have some of the same shades. It's three people, moving together in a dance or an embrace, and it's very lovely).

In the evening we went 'round to Janice's and met Darrell and Becky there, and exchanged gifts, and decorated Janice's tree, and watched Janice and Becky playing Thud!
