We've had 24 hours of wintry bliss: llistening to Joe Augustine's 'Christmas Is', teaching the art of the ribbon curl, making meatballs, shoveling, and shoveling some more. I read 'White Snow Bright snow'at bedtime. Always love the cadence of that book. I'm woefully unprepared for Christmas, but will deal with it when I can. I won't let it interfere with my holiday spirit. Stay warm.
