"Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot..."

We finished out the Christmas season with our Twelfth Night party tonight. We had a great time with the folks who came, but it was a small crowd. Several people had told us they had prior obligations, and at least one person had to be with an ailing parent, but we missed the regulars, and the two girls who came were bored without the rest of the kids of their own age who usually show up. I hope everyone's okay.

So we're sitting here ticking down the last few minutes of Christmas season 2006. It was a happy time, even with little annoyances like the traffic on the way to Warner Robins and back and the warm weather that invaded every few days like unwelcome insects. The Marietta tour of homes was terrific; I'd like to do it again next year. The new ARTC venue was enjoyable, and the show, of course, was excellent. Shari's party is always fun, as is getting together with James' family.

And then of course the glitter: checking out Christmas displays, the beautiful decorations, the drive through Life University, tinsel and glitter and glass ornaments, and lights, lights, lights.

The best part: good friends, good family, good food, good feeling. A feeling of home and of love.

I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen, to Christmas! May it endure forever!

See you next year...
