So cozy and "real". No frantic rushing here and there. Simply enjoying the moments and each other.<BR/>That's what we're doing this Christmas season as well. Very different and much quieter than previous ones. And I like it.<BR/>So just stopping by to wish you a very Merry Christmas. Keep enjoying your moments and all the best in 2008.<BR/>Terri<BR/>http://www.islandwriter.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29556015.post-3914058607802001532007-12-23T08:07:00.000-06:002007-12-23T08:07:00.000-06:00Thanks, Lydia, Fiona, Betty, and Tanna!

For me it's the solstice more than any of the religious holidays that give some framework to the things I do at this time of year. It is a time when everything seems to slow down, for just a few days, and that time feels like a gift.Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18005372315838352874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29556015.post-64681734076993509582007-12-22T18:58:00.000-06:002007-12-22T18:58:00.000-06:00Oh, Mary, I do agree.
