I'd like to take this Christmas Eve to wish each and every one of my readers -- yes, even the ones who send me angry and/or snarky comments -- the happiest of winter holidays, whichever one(s) they celebrate. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Joyful Kwanzaa, best solstice wishes* and so on: Happy holidays!
__________________________
* The solstice has been and gone on the 21st, but it's the thought that counts. The fact that the solstice falls so close to these winter holidays is no accident: the turning of the year has been important to humans for as long as we've been humans and we are darned well going to mark it. It's an open feast: more holiday for the other guy doesn't mean any less for you. Get out the good dinnerware and dig in!

Merry Christmas to you and all of the denizens of Rose Home Cottage
Happy Holidays! Looking forward to more pithy commentary in the new year. It's a blustery day in the Pacific Northwest, but not raining at the moment which gave me a window for an invigorating walk with the dog.
I was going to say that the dark days are now receding, but the political clouds are gathering for a stormy 4 years.
My dad was a Marine in WWII and practised improvise, adapt, overcome; always do more with less. The Left may be on its back foot for the moment, but there's still plenty of skirmishing that can be done to disrupt the boneheaded moves being planned to tear down Democracy.
Stay strong and stay determined as
"Victory will never be found by taking the path of least resistance."
Winston Churchill
Merry Christmas to you as well
Happy Boxing Day from the South Pacific. I've been happily working my way through the culinary barnyard on the grill- lamb, pork, and beef for the festive feasting.
