Thank you for the mention, Tess. And for the nice comment. I’m glad that my thoughts can give folks something to think about.

Thanks everyone. Anita, I love the idea of adding a little eggnog and cookies to some contemplation!

And pleased to report work this week will definitely be less hectic – because I have the next fortnight off! Some retreat-style contemplation and relaxation on the agenda, doing some writing, listening to music, tending what needs tending. Oh yes, I am really looking forward to it.

I’m glad to see you back (and thank you for the mention). We’ve scaled back our Christmases for the past few years: we only buy (or make) gifts for the grandchildren. All the adults in both families has so much, they don’t need another thing. So we make a donation to either Heifer or the local shelter, and send everyone a card. We’ve asked them not to get us anything, but they haven’t listened yet. Maybe this year . . . Anyone else gets homemade cookies.

I’d love to spend Christmas as a time of contemplation this year. Contemplation with eggnog and cookies . . .

Here’s hoping you have a less hectic time at work this week!

I missed you too Tess and I always love Sunday collections. This one was especially good (and not just because I made it in) — I laughed so hard I wept a little at the Burger King video, I’ll be looking up his other stuff. And I also appreciate the moon link, I was taken by this month’s moon and wondered what it was called. Thanks too for all of the great holiday suggestions, I hate that Christmas makes me cringe as well.
