It will be the darkest night of the year. in just 2 nights it will be three nights of more light...longer days growing by the minute. The holly~days are here. We have seen some winter, with snow falling in December. We have decorated the house with all sorts of glowing totems with twinkle and bows. Two five dollar movies, Vermont Country store and pine needles on the floor. Candles burning, Josh lighting them with care and triumph. Willow and Hedy have destroyed all the ominous ornaments from the low lying branches of the tree. Christmas day Noah will be washing dishes at the Missions for a few hours, hopefully joyfully. We will go to see my sister's new place on Christmas Eve...and Josh's family will join us in the afternoon of Christmas Day. I will make some yummy cruelty free food and things will be comfy. These are some of my hopes.

peace
