May I be the umpteenth person to wish you a Merry Christmas
and Happy Hanukkah, 'cause I'm sure I'm not the first!
Are you ready? Shopping done? House decorated? Gifts
wrapped? Cards addressed? Cookies baked? You know the drill. I’m happy to say
that I’ve accomplished most of that; however, my cards are unfinished, the
flour and chocolate chips still sit in the cupboard, and the outside laser
lights still sit in the shed. All in due time, folks, all in due time.
Since we move slower these days, I’m surprised at what’s already
been accomplished. If the rest doesn’t get done, so be it. I have it on good
authority that Christmas will come whether or not I have dozens of cookies made!
We’re having fun watching Shadow and Charlie goad each
other. Charlie flies over Shadow’s head, then Shadow barks at him. One runs
around the house and the other flies around the house. Between the barking and
chirping, there’s never a dull moment around here.
May your Christmas or Hanukkah be spent with family and
friends making precious, meaningful memories and stepping back to remember what’s
important.
Quote of the Day: Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a
truly merry Christmas. Peg Bracken
