It's been a quiet Christmas at Micawber Towers - probably the quietest ever. We're both recovering from a rather nasty virus, so we stayed home to spare the family any chance of infection. We slept in, ate a simple breakfast, napped, read, napped some more, played a few games of Chinese Checkers, had another small meal, then watched a bit of Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers (we're a little behind on our annual viewing of the classic film trio). Then another nap for Mr. M, and some photo-editing and blogging for me.
Here are a few photos from last week's (pre-virus) Christmas-tree-cutting excursion, which took place under a brilliant December sky....

I hope your Christmas was merry and bright!
