IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A BIT LIKE..SOLSTICE & CHRISTMAS

The last couple of days have found me chipping away at getting the house decorated for the holidays. Solstice and Christmas are just around the corner, and hopefully by the time of their arrival, I'll have the house really pretty for celebration.

The tree is up, despite non-stop scaling attempts by two white kittens who are so full of themselves they can hardly refrain from batting at ornaments every time they get the chance; the stockings are hung but not by the chimney, for located there, they would get scorched; and Tanya, in her kerchief and PJ's, has done a significant amount of cleaning and rearranging to make room for the holiday decorations. Still, there remain a few things to take care of, like bringing in some greenery.

Most importantly, may peace and love reign in every aspect of our lives and in every part of our world.

And in the words of a seasonal jingle, "tis the season to be jolly!"
