I'm also having a nice chunk of quiet, at my parents' house. Due to general attrition of home-town, etc, there is a bit of a lack of old friends around, which is a shame. Once upon a time I could rely on a solid cohort of drinking buddies on Christmas Eve, but not these days. So I'm forced to sit in the warm, on a sofa, instead of crowded in a corner somewhere in a pub :-)
