Halleluja !


No doubt it can be a whole lot of fun: Christmas, New Year - the whole twelve days. It's not an easy deed however. Expectations are high, everyone scurries around, tickets are being bought, recipes downloaded, groceries ordered, booze stocked, xmas ornaments retrieved, cookies baked, windows decorated, kids bribed...If you were to list all the extra stuff that is required to get the big ol' show on the road it would easily wrap twice around a six pack - that is if you write in very small print. Add that to an already full day, week or month, and things can easily get a bit squishy. But what a blast if it all works out, if everyone is having a ball, despite the charred apple pie, spilled wine and a couple of lost presents. After all, it's a time predestined for disaster. Missed flights, non-responsive husbands, trips to the emergency room. It's a miracle, most of us make it alive. So to all of you:
Happy New Year!!
