May the New Year bring all the good things to you and yours.

@jwcph I bought a new coffee maker that was rather unlike what I've always had. I found reading the comments on the machine helped more than the manual.

My grandmother's family were in the Husum area. My grandfather a bit south of there. Greatgrandfather was from Hamburg. There was a maternal gg grandfather who was a Danish sailing Captain. Genetics show up from everywhere the Vikings went, all the way down to Ukraine.

Paternal side is British Isles. My people, it seems, got around.

I'll be spending xmas alone and honesty, I don't mind it one bit.

@EvilCartyen
My maternal grands were from
Schlewig-Holstein and that was their tradition, also. So we had xmas with them and then the American xmas morning at home.

My daughter's BD is tomorrow, also. Happy Birthday to our "girls". Mine's 53.
