Christmas has been low-key... I am working the day, having made a deal with a coworker to take Thanksgiving off so he could take Christmas off. It's quiet here, but I was able to participate in a Zoom call with Mom, all of my siblings, and a bunch of nieces and nephews. Everybody is doing well, I'm happy to say. If things ever return to a semblance of normality, we will be planning a big family reunion. It's been too long.
I'm planning on making dinner soon, a sort of 'deconstructed cordon bleu', a layered casserole of sauteed chicken, cubed ham, and a Mornay sauce. It'll be another night of hotplate and toaster oven cooking, so I won't be pounding cutlets flat and rolling them up. Who's got time for that?
Working on Christmas isn't a big deal in this age of social distancing and 'remote' events. It's not like a big family gathering was in the works. Meanwhile, the phone has been chiming with Christmas wishes from the extended friend network.
