Secret Santa gifts have only partially arrived, worryingly enough.  About a quarter of the way through the catalogs &#8212; our &#8220;shopping&#8221; got interrupted by occurances of a Higher Priority yesterday, which happens.  But now I&#8217;m out for the week on business, which puts us dangerously near shipping deadlines for the holidays.  On the other hand, I think I am done with Katherine shopping and (local) Margie shopping.

Not sure what to do with Twelfth Night invites.  Did a first pass on the Christmas Card list yesterday, culling out some obsolete names (and inserting a few new ones).
