We went into work today to get a shuttle mailed off and to make sure that our hard work from Friday worked. It did so we finished up the book we started Friday. As we started the next book, we noticed a reflection in the image from a scratch on the glass. We did a second book because we were waiting for the DHL guy anyway. We had to capture it all on one side and then the other in order to get the book done. Took us over twice as long. We now have to order new glass for the cradle. We have a glazier across the street. We have the measurements and need to order it. Hopefully we will have it ready for the 3 January. There was no one on the train or bus today. Their vacations have already started. In the train station, Government employees were greeting the children and giving them chocolate. The kids were so excited it just made you smile to watch this.
Other than those frustrations at work, we are settling in to get ready to not go anywhere but the bakery for the next two days. At noon tomorrow, everything will shut down for Christmas and won't be back up until the 27th. We have Boxing Day on top of Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning. In fact if truth be told - Boxing Day and Christmas Eve are bigger holidays than the 25th.
We have been hearing fireworks pretty much all month long. They shoot off noisy firecrackers from Dec 6 until Jan 6. After that you can be jailed if you do it. The longest night of the year was really noisy. It goes back to an old tradition of shooting into the sky to bring the sun back. Why loud noises would bring anything back- I don't know but the sun? Makes living here really fun.
