Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to those who celebrate! Thank you all for being part of my life. I’ll be here tomorrow to talk books, Christmas, family, weather, health, whatever we feel like talking about. I know how much I love being with family and celebrating Christmas. My parents both enjoyed the holidays, and everything surrounding it, so they always made it special. But, I know that isn’t the same for everyone, and it might be a tough year for some. To quote my favorite journalist, Connie Schultz, “If this is hard week for you, may the day land gently.”
