Yup. Subdued seems to be the right word to describe Xmas Eve so far. Coming out of the house this morning and finding snow on the ground was a nice touch. Driving to work (and actually being able to since there was hardly any traffic!) was nice and the cold made it feel all right.
But in the office, there aren’t that many kids (especially compared with last year) and the food only came out an hour ago (compared with last year) and there just doesn’t seem to be that many people or laughter (although there is some). It’s a little strange, but subdued seems to fit it more.
But the food is very yummy, though 🙂 Of course I’m only trying to nibble since I’ll basically be eating TOO often today and probably too much for the rest of the week! 🙂
