This year's Christmas feast occurred tonight, which technically would be considered Christmas Eve Eve Eve, or perhaps just Christmas Eve3. It was the occasion to bring a fantastic group of good friends around the kitchen table (the dining room is still a disaster of accumulated stuff, boxes from my Mother's estate, and miscellaneous piles of whatever), which required a bit of creative seating since there were nine of us. It all worked out just fine, though.
