Wicked was very good. This Fri we are going to a Caps game. Sat (Christmas Eve) we are doing our traditional dinner out. Headed to Old Ebbitt Grill, a DC institution. No specific plans for Christmas Day yet. The day after my nephew's fiancée shows up to stay overnight on her way to Africa. She returns Jan 12 for another overnight stay on the way back. We've not met her yet, so that will be nice.
NYE coming up Sat so we will be at our traditional (fifth this year) 007 (James Bond) party downtown. Always a fun group and we dance all night long and into the wee hours after a sit-down dinner. A live band plus DJs in different rooms playing all kinds of music. Our fave is the ice room, where they dispense martinis from ice sculptures. Stay overnight at the hotel, which is great. Have breakfast the next morning then Uber home.

I was planning to go visit my son, daughter-in-law and their new dog. But Barbara has a wicked cough and I'm concerned about taking her out of the house. We'll see how she is doing tomorrow.

Hope she feels better soon!

Hope Barbara feels better! We have a house party to attend on New Year's Eve but I'm just not really into it. We may, big emphasis on may (depends on outside temps) head downtown before dark to get a drink/snack and check out the festivities. There are fireworks at 8:30, but I'm sure we won't be out in the cold that long. We may pop by the house party later in the evening, but to be honest, I'm just fine with going home early.

One of my friends is having a big bonfire on his secluded property NYE and I will be providing the entertainment around 8:00 PM.
Don't try this at home.
His son-in-law also is a wine-maker, so there will be a little of that to share, as well, I'm guessing. Plus, they're Italian, so I'm sure yummy food will be on tap as well.
