Last year at this time, I was up to my eyeballs in snow (a rarity in Seattle) and very humbug-ish because of the unfinished tasks the snow prevented me from completing. This year, I'm calm, enjoying the sun, help from my in-laws and smiles on my boys' faces. We're off to our church pageant in a few hours and I know my shepherd and star are ready to perform.
Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!
