Happy for the Holidays

With the holiday season in full swing, many of us are planning those gift lists, pondering menus for those Christmas parties, and preparing for the wonderful hustle and bustle of these next few weeks. This is my favorite time of the year.

We don't have any snow right now, but I'm wishing for a white Christmas -- as long as the white is snow and not ice. I still remember that horrible ice storm that made our transformer explode and kept us without power for a full week. We packed our groceries and cooked Christmas dinner at a friend's house while she had plans to celebrate elsewhere. That was really wonderful for her to let us do. I've been gifted with friends like that.

So, as we step more fully into the season, I want to wish everyone joy and peace.
