“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”
(Charles Dickens – A Christmas Carol)
Merry Christmas, everyone! π

A Happpy New Year to you too, Yvette! (I won’t say anything about Christmas, I know it’s not your favourite holiday.) Let’s hope it’s a good one π

thanks for remembering my prefs – and I have to share that this one flowed nicely – because we have nice boundaries in place –
but you know – it was also special because after 15 years of living in this town (ahem) this was most favorite Xmas with friends and various activities – a little too busy with a trip to see my SD squeezed in – but feeling very grateful
xxoo

Wow… the best Christmas in 15 years, that’s something π I’m happy you managed to have a good time with family and friends (I will eventually get around to answering your email too π ). I was just pointing out to a friend a few days ago that perhaps for the first time ever, we got all the holidays right for an entire year – realistic expectations and clear boundaries were indeed essential. No drama, no disappointment, no excessive pressure… π
