merry christmas

I just heard the grandfather clock chime. It's midnight. And it's Christmas.

I'm on day five of a sniffling, sneezing, sinus pain, coughing cold. But I'm glad it's Christmas & I can be with my family, despite our severe dysfunctionality & sometimes hostility. (That's about as much Christmas cheer as I can offer right now...)

Merry Christmas to all & on this night of quiet waiting, I wish you peace & joy.
