Another Christmas has come and gone. And, to be entirely truthful, this has been one of the better that I can ever remember having shared in.

The gifts were all appropriate, appreciated and enjoyed.

The times spent were all joyous and free of dramatics (minus my upset stomach, which may or may not have stemmed from the suppression of so much hate and rage, jk).

Most of what I will remember are the smiles and the laughter and the sharing of memories new and old.

Thank you, dear family, and thank you most of all Sarah.

So, most of you are aware of the following:

I hate the holidays

Except that this year, at least, I am making an honest attempt at righting myself and learning to embrace the potential for JOY during this typically stressful and drama-filled time of year (at least around here).

Fingers crossed that it works. If nothing else, I've got a lot of stuff on my plate to keep me busy and my mind occupied in case that doesn't work out... ;)

And boy are my arms tired!

That's not how that goes, is it? Regardless, I'm back. It's a Christmas Miracle (TM)! Don't expect a lot of goodness yet...I haven't finalized what features I want, how I want to redo the theme and exactly how I'm going to use this site going forward. Besides...I've got a wedding site to get started on soon, and a major, major overhaul of some ones at work.

Happy Holidays, one and all. See you in the New Year.
