I don’t remember, and I don’t have any business affairs. Other than that ...
It is nice that they would come get you rather than let you freeze in the dark. “The least they can do,” as we say around here.
Good luck on all the Christmas stuff. Anyone who wants to come over here on Saturday evening or Sunday is welcome, but we don’t try to work around anyone’s travel or other plans. You either turn up or don’t. If you don’t, you’ll get your present at some point.
Well, that would be my choice, for sure.
Come on Christmas Day or Eve or whenever the "party/dinner/present-opening" is scheduled or don't. Whenever you show up, you'll get your gift, but I'm celebrating on Christmas Day (Eve.)
Now, I'm going to go take a shower. I forgot to run the hot water this morning, so I'm very late.
