For me, school’s out until January 7, so things are going to be a little slower here as I enjoy my time with friends — both real and in literature — and get to sleep in a little.

I hope you get to do the same, or whatever it is that makes Christmas — if you celebrate it — and the New Year special for you.  If you’re traveling, best wishes for a safe and uneventful journey.

Now that’s my idea of a Christmas tree.
