10-30-12.00: School Christmas thing. Gamma did a great job.
12.00-18.00: Some cooking, some video-watching, some hanging out, bunch of working on stuff I’ve forgotten.
18.00-19.00: Take Beta to hairdresser for hairdo appraisal for the ball.
19.00-22.00: Wrap presents. Drink Guinness. Get cranky, be mean and nasty to wife and Beta (Gamma already in bed). Regret it.
22.00-24.00: Watch traditional Christmas movie of love and sacrifice: Donnie Darko.
Next day (today): resolve to be nicer. So far so good.
