Low key was the order of the day. My husband is feeling much better but I've apparently started a completely unrelated cold, the kind with the huge surprise sneezes that come with the risk of putting your back out.
We waffled about whether to do our big meal on the 24th or the day itself, but decided to go with Christmas Eve. The meal is important because we don't go gifts anymore, just usually go shopping and buy something fancy and spend the day wrecking the kitchen. Neither of us had the energy for that, so we made paella from a box and added extra mussels and peas, and it was delicious.
The box said four servings. That was probably accurate because we each had two, and then fell back on the couch and moaned about how full we were.
That didn't stop us from going to our local cafe the next morning for breakfast. They were open until noon today and the town came out to support the owner getting up on Christmas morning to take care of us. There were probably a dozen people there, and I knew all of them. One of the perks of being in a small town.
After that, we took a long walk to settle all the calories and then came home.
Nothing wrong with a quiet holiday. Nothing at all.

Sounds like you had a nice Xmas. It was low key over here as well, again like we prefer it. I took off week from work, so lots of time to spread the festivities out :)
Wishing you a wonderful and successful 2924!

Low key is my favorite thing these days. Looking forward to a nice new year on the couch.
