Well my dears, tis almost Saturday and Mrs C is baking ala Martha Stewart to prepare for our Christmas feast. Will Bob bring home a fine turkey this year? Or will we once again be using the bird as stuffing instead of the other way 'round? The Cratchit children are busy making recipes for guests (a veritable Dickensian workshop here) and cheerfully hanging their stockings for Father Christmas who was quite skimpy on the treats last weekend. Really, poor Jemima C. got a brown paper package (tied up with string) and she had to share it with the others. A scandal! And what of Tiny Tim? Will he get that razor scooter he begs for? (and what is that actually?) and will Mrs C finally get a moment of solitude for her tired eyes ("lye and hog fat soap, take me away!")?
Tune in on the 20th at 12:00 noon at Cosi (10th and E NW) to find out how it all goes!

ps. Mrs C has learned to make a proper link, see the strolls page and gape in admiration at her 19th century office skills!
