   Hello!   
      
   So.. did everyone get what they wanted under the Christmas tree this     
   year?   
      
   I think this year is the first time I haven't received a call from     
   anyone on Christmas day.  But, I don't seem to mind it. I have to     
   deal with a lof of people face-to-face and on the phone during the     
   week at the shop.  I switch on the "be social" button and the smiles     
   when I am there, and prefer the "do not disturb" option when I get     
   home.   
      
   The phone seemed to have a problem NOT being to receive calls. Not     
   sure how long that problem pre-existed! A caller might hear one     
   ring, but then there would be one loud click, and then nothing. That     
   was happening on both of the land lines. I could test this by     
   calling those lines with my cell phone. I could make an outgoing     
   call on the land lines if I wanted to, but both lines had a lot of     
   scratchy noises and hum.  Today, one line has cleared up and is     
   working again. But the other line is still broken.   
      
   I received plenty of homemade cookies, some preserves, jam, roasted     
   tamari almonds, chocolate, some famous Latvian candies, and a bottle     
   of wine.   
      
   I finished off the cookies yesterday. The roasted tamari almonds     
   were long gone (they were the best!)   
      
   Considering that I have eliminated sugar from my regular eating     
   plans for several years (and I threw out over 20 lbs of sugar -     
   bagged and cubed - over 5 years ago), the cookies and candies spun     
   me out of control.
