It certainly was nice of you to call me about buying Christmas presents. I did do a little, but I couldn't get what I wanted right away and I didn't have the time to spend a lot of time on it. So I think that I will just wait until I get home and I can do it all of Friday afternoon, after I get home (also after I sleep a little - I'm prepared for the sleepless night on the train) - It certainly will be nice to get home again. It really doesn't seem so long, but I hate to think of all the finals I have to go through before I can come.
I really didn't do much this week-end, nothing much ever happens before finals. It was the first Saturday night that I'd stayed in, and compared to all the Saturday nights most of the girls have stayed in, I feel very lucky. Bob came over last night to see me and George (to my great surprise) tried to get ahold of me but I didn't get to talk to him.
Last night we also had a very wonderful Christmas

dinner here - almost as good as at the Jonathan Club and we all got to sing Christmas carols. When we went into the dinning room we carried little lighted candles in jars, but mine got so hot that a piece of the jar dropped off and blistered my hand, but nothing tragic happened. We had turkey and plum pudding and everything that made a typical Christmas dinner.
Incidentally be prepared to put me on a strenuous reducing diet when I get home. I'm sure that after seeing me, you'll want to.
Love to all, Mary -
