have yourself a merry little...CHRISTMAS

I can't believe it's already December! This year flew by. Goodbye rabbit, hello dragon. (shhh...)

most of the time solstice celebrations dominate the season for me though I do occasionally have dreams of sugar plums, big ribbons and christmas pudding.

this year i'm driving down the coast to Monterey. We probably won't have a tree like one of these, I certainly don't and might not ever---but the festive, fun spirit is intriguing.

keeping us warm and uplifted through the darkest times of the season.

this year my prayer is for those who value material things to find the value in other things. and those who find the value in other things by circumstance, to have a minute to be wowed with generosity. Creativity overflows when budgets are tight. I wish this for all of us.

Merry Christmas & happy holidays.
