December 21, 2016

Wednesday, the day after Chinese food/5 desserts/a gazillion presents -- what a day -- almost overload, but not quite. And now it's inching up Christmas, this beautiful day, the 21st of December.
A lot of you told me your plans and they sounds well nigh perfect.
Remember, there is not a single excuse for spending Christmas alone -- do you hear me? Do you hear the Christmas Minions shouting the same thing behind me? The best place to find wonderful Christmas events is to go to Church. No, I don't want to hear that you're an atheist or a Buddhist or a pagan minion worshiper, get thee to your local Church of whatever denomination or practice, and dive into what they're offering. Seeing Christmas smiles and hearing Christmas laughter, there's nothing like it.
Tomorrow, off to the east coast for the HUGE family get-together, around 35 family this year. I hope you all read my Christmas newsletter -- describes it to a T. No one gets toasted, which is good, just a bit of a light buzz in the air and singing and children shouting and going crazy.
