This was because she knew the real reason for the season is the axial tilt of the Earth and so did not feel the need to arise from her bed any earlier than usual.

I have somehow managed to wangle it so that today I am only seeing the people I love the most, which feels like a Christmas present to myself.
No matter what you believe, or don’t believe, I hope everyone has a happy and peaceful day…we need a few more of those I think.
