“Not much, really. Jan and I have been settling in well and we are very eagerly anticipating Christmas.” Lilli already bought a tree, in fact. An artificial tree but a tree all the same. “Let me tell you, having Jan around makes chopping and bringing in wood for the fire so much easier.”
“Hm, I see. I’m sure that’s going to be a truly wonderful part of the year. And I trust you’ll go full force in celebrating as usual.“ Her enthusiasm for Christmas was indeed endearing to Saima and it helped get them more in the seasonal cheer. “Oh, I bet having him assist makes it so much more convenient. Good for you all.“
