It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving, and you know what that means in many homes, including ours … time to get the Christmas decorations down from the attic and begin trimming the tree. (Or at my house, all five of the trees!) Yep … Christmas is upon us, and as always, it makes my heart glad! Hope you are all looking forward to the holiday season as much as I am. 

Things are already looking up around here. My computer issues healed themselves overnight, which made me very happy when I sat down in front of it today, armed with naught but a cup of Earl Grey. I discovered I could actually respond to comments again without jumping through hoops, so yay for that. When Mark returns from his morning 5-mile walk, we’ll get started bringing down the boxes and boxes of decorations, then Mark will get busy putting up the lights, while I start unpacking my huge collection of Santas.

Nothing makes me happier than the Christmas season, for ever so many reasons, and I hope you are all set to enjoy this time of year to the max. Let me be the first to wish each of you a wonderful holiday from start to finish!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
