Ug

Sorry, everyone. Off this week, too. I'm miserably sick with the flu. As soon as I can breathe again, I'm off to bed, where I belong...

Please hang with me. Have a great New Year's celebration, and I'll see you next year. :-)

Skipping a week

Yup. With Mom arriving tomorrow to spend Christmas with us, all the prep for that, Christmas cooking, parties, etc., my plate is full enough. I'll be back after Christmas. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, or whatever else you celebrate. :-)

Seasonal stories

What with Christmas coming and all...

1. Do you read Christmas-themed (or Hanukkah, or?) stories this time of year? If so, what kind (religious, mystery, etc.)?
2. Do you have any stories you traditionally read this time every year? If so, what? How did your tradition start?

If you want, highlight the stuff in the box, then copy it to your blog.
