Fio is very happy. Her blood thinner nurse, her neurologist, and her banker have volunteered that they'll buy copies of her new book to give as Christmas presents this year.
Um, anyone else want to step up to the plate?

Big Bang Christmas
Among Fiorella's Christmas gifts from Husband lurked a foot-high tyrannosaur which, when its belly button was pushed, moved its arms, legs, and tail, then let out a tremendous roar. It was as if Leonard had just presented Penny with a Klingon dictionary.

Christmas Morn
Fiorella did finish off her decorating last night. She also finished off a handful of Christmas gelt to keep her alert and active after Husband had gone to bed. Yes, the whole world slept, but Fiorella wrote checks and wrapped presents and contemplated putting just a few more ornaments round and about.
But this morning, there's no time for decorating. The house must be cleaned up for Christmas guests. And although Fiorella is never trusted with the main course, she is expected to make boiled potatoes, chocolate pudding, and a gingerbread cake.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! CHRIST IS BORN!

Relief Is in Sight!
Fiorella's finished her Christmas decorating!
Well, not quite--she can't stage the mantel over the fireplace in the den until Husband connects up the lights on the little houses, and there's a plateful of clip-on birds sitting on the dining room table that she has to put somewhere, and the mailbox that needs to have a bow tied around it, and the tinsel garland at the entrance to the driveway that has to be repaired. But after all of that is taken care of, Fiorella can sit down and relax.
Relax? No--she has presents to wrap, a contract relating to the family business to get signed by Husband and Nephew, and her own publishing contract to find and sign.
Still, she's more up to date than most years.

Function of Government
Fiorella keeps trying to hang up her political hat, but then people say stuff she objects to, like Mitt Romney, after such a gracious concession speech, saying that Obama won by giving "gifts" to the poor, the young, and the dark-skinned. To Fio, it all boils down to how one looks at the function of government--is it to tell people how to think and what to do, or is it of the people, by the people, and FOR the people?
