The Christmas rush began today. It's been slower than usual, I've been told, because of the snow that's been falling for the last couple of days. People from Massachusetts would probably scoff at the scare over four inches of snow, but this is apparently the most snow this part of Scotland has gotten in several years. Luckily for the farm, they have about 200 turkeys that need to be picked up, so a lot of customers are forced to brave the roads to get their Christmas dinners.

I mostly bagged veggies today, though I did spend about an hour out in the freezing cold picking Brussels sprouts because the store sold out of 100 kilos by early afternoon. That's a lot of sprouts! Josh on the other hand, was given the title of Executive of Turkey Retrieval Systems (a.k.a. The Turkey Runner) and spent the day connecting customers with their turkey orders. Tomorrow will probably be just as busy, but the farm will be closed for Christmas and Boxing Day. I still don't know what Boxing Day is all about, but we will be spending it with a friend in the next town over.

In case I don't get to say it to you personally, have a happy holiday season! Eat lots of good (organic) food, drink lots of good microbrews, and spend time with lots of good people!
