Good morning! Nice to hear from you, especially so close to Christmas!

I got my pyramid on Day 2 after the Windows 10 update: I had hoarded 209 Explorer's Eyes (with many blessings for the hidden-object finder Guru!); bought $1M worth of time machines; set a +60 second / 24 hour time talisman, and off I went. So now I have the basic beginner model of both the sphere and the pyramid, neither of which is as pretty as yours or El's, but you guys have been at this a lot longer than I have and I didn't know the significance of these desktop beauties when I first started. Live and learn. I'll play the scene and get whatever else comes out of it, but other than gifting I haven't felt much like being on my computer (gee...I wonder why LOL). Oh, and Santa came back to me yesterday and the day before; how wonderful!

LOL, the kid can wait. You've spent a long time studying and need to get as much out of your career before ever venturing down that route. I suppose very wealthy people who can afford a nanny can continue with demanding careers, but for the rest of us, it can wreck your head, heart and body trying to keep up and be fair and kind to all concerned.

Thank you for the 🤮 emoticon. It will come in use.

I haven't got my Christmas tree up--I kept meaning to to do it, but I'm going to a friend's house for their Christmas tonight, and my son is coming here tomorrow (snow permitting) and there's the small detail that last year, my cat climbed it several times. She's a lot heavier than she was last year. My son's already got his major present and since he has no money, I guess I've got "it's the thought that counts"! Christmas trees look better with lots and lots of presents under them, don't they! Yes, yes, yes, 'tis better to give than to receive, but if no one enjoys receiving, who would bother giving? 🎄🎊🎇

I do have a lot of baking to do today, however, so I will stop typing!! I will waft the smells of mince tarts a la Bon Appetit and espresso-hazelnut shortbread and gran marnier/orange chiffon cake your way--as that's what's coming up!

Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas! 💝
