The Light Night Before Christmas

t was a quiet evening, for the most part. We had dinner, exchanged a few gifts, decked the ficus with a single string of lights (as we didn’t get a Christmas tree this year), and reminisced about Christmases past. When it was just the two of us together, Ponzi and I made a halfhearted attempt at exchanging gifts and whatnot - although most of her gifts are to be acquired after our honeymoon. I can only assume that everybody out there had a good night, too - merry and bright and all that jazz.
