I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I love having all my family together, eating tons of sweets and Syrian food, and seeing my world turn into fairy land with all the sparkling lights. But I hate all the work—mental and physical—that goes into those things.
And I can’t even think about writing … well, okay, I think about it nearly every waking moment—wait, no, I dream about it too! But there’s no time to actually sit and write. I need to be two, maybe three, people right now.
Here’s a family photo from last year—my apologies to those who lost weight and/or grew hair this year. I’ll post an updated one after Christmas Eve, okay?

Candice, I get up before six every morning, but I don’t get to start writing until seven. And then, if I can, I sit at that keyboard hour after hour after hour … no wonder I’m in such sad physical shape!

Linda,
We would all love to be cloned this time of year! There is so much to do and most of the time I feel I am doing it by myself. I finally realized that is just part of being a wife and Mom and I do believe they love us more for it. We get everything done in the end. You do have a beautiful family and I bet your Syrian dishes are wonderful!
