Today Emma had her last basketball match this year. Pyrintö won Viri 52-48... it was the most exiting game - it was only couple minutes before the end when the other team scored the winning points. Emma played very well, we are very proud of her.

Otherwise this has been a quiet day. We made a short trip to Tampere and shops were full of people - Christmas shopping I guess.

Professional organizer Kesti offered solutions for relieving the Christmas stress in YLE news today:

*Just buy one present for each person. And no surprises. Ask the recipients of your gifts what they want, and then buy exactly the colour and model wished for. The satisfaction from material things passes very quickly.

*No massive household cleanups near Christmas. At Christmas we should endanger seasonal spirits and atmosphere, just do what we can manage, and then do the big cleanups some other time.
