Merry Christmas Eve, Happy Hanukkah, and many other happy holidays! I’m very fortunate that this year I’ll be enjoying the holidays with family – my husband, son, daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter are all in town, so it’s a very merry Christmas for us!

I hope this holiday season has been a healthy one for all of you – I know we are hopefully past the worst of the pandemic, but please do make sure to stay safe this holiday season! Here’s wishing you ALL an early Healthy, Happy, and Merry Christmas!

Happy Easter! Joyous Passover! Happy Spring!

I hope all of you are able to spend the day just the way you want AND that everyone is happy, safe, and healthy.

My husband and I just spent some time enjoying our grandaughter’s second Easter egg hunt via our portal. It’s nothing like physically being with our daughter and her family in D.C. – but it sure is better than not seeing them at all! We celebrated Easter with our son yesterday so my husband and I are planning a quiet day today. (This empty next thing never seems to get easier…)

I hope all of you are having a happy and safe holiday season, whether you practice Christmas, another holiday, or are just enjoying the winter season!

This year, we won’t have our daughter with us… travel is still difficult for her with a relatively young child. Fortunately, our son is close enough that he will be spending the holiday with us, and we will be able to use one of our new-fangled gadgets (my husband is in charge of that sort of thing…) to be able to talk face-to-face with our daughter at least.

The holiday meal is going to be nice as well – ham this year!

Happy holidays to all of you!

I just wanted to quickly wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, for my American readers, and a nice Thursday, for everyone else! Personally, I’m thankful that after a couple of rough years, things are starting to get a bit better for everyone, even if it sometimes feels like it is just a little at a time, and that all of my personal family has gotten through the last few years safe and healthy.
