Holidays

 Oddly enough, this year I feel peace for the holidays. It's usually a run-around please-let-this-cup-pass-before-me set of misadventures, but this year, that would be ok. I used to like Christmas. Last year I didn't; I was still adjusting to our new, large family and 
sweating all the small stuff.

Right now, though, it's snowing. The kids are playing. There is peace at my keyboard. I conjure 
up images of warm candle light, slightly crooked Christmas trees, and lasagna. 

I don't know where I'll be next Christmas. I don't know who I'll know.
But I know where I am right now.

Sometimes, that's enough.
