The long day is over

One of my favorite songs ever, by the amazing Norah Jones. I hope everyone had a splendid Christmas filled with feelings of love and peace, good cheer, good food, good company, a spirit of giving, and a spirited round of Mad Gab around the desert plates. Wonderful game, Mad Gab. Excellent way for big groups of people to have lots of fun and laughter, and the perfect way to end our family Christmas bonanza.

I have become wrapping paper and sparkly bow-ed out; I have a dining room full of lovely thoughtful gifts; I have a tummy full of tasty food; I have a comfy orange scarf around my neck and a dazed look on my face. And I am happy.

Merry Christmas Friends, Family, and Everyone Else out there.
