Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
Yesssssssss.... Christmas movies, family traditions, cozy fireplaces, random acts of kindness, and kids still believing in magic and miracles... and more trips to Target. When I was a kid, I could not understand why adults didn't wake up before dawn, open presents, then go back to sleep (sorry about those years, mom and dad). But I was never told that Christmas is even better as an adult: we appreciate gifts more, get to drink mimosas (or "poinsettias": champagne and diet cranberry juice - the diet takes away the I-can-only-have-one-of-these-they-are-too-sugary taste...and they're festive red) while opening them, giving is better than receiving and cooking is, to many, just as much fun as eating. And to top it off, a fresh new year is on deck the following week. So sit back, relax, eat a lot and pour another glass of chardonnay... Christmastime is now!
Have a holly jolly Christmas and a wonderful 2013!
And thanks for the memories, 2012...
