Today Is The Twelfth Day Of Christmas, Loves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                           And this marks, sadly, the official end to the Holiday Season, which began way back at Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!

                            It has been a joyful one, girls!  But now comes the long "winter of our discontent."   This has always been a difficult time of year for me; no wonder bears hibernate.  Too bad we can't.  But I have my beloved Monsieur to brighten up those dark winter days, plus I simply enthralled with Eleanor Catton's 19th Century-like tome, "The Luminaries," so, somehow, the time will pass!

                            But the Christmas Season passes quicker, each year!  We get all psyched and anticipatory about it, then, before you know it, it becomes another series of memories.  Hopefully, good ones!

                             Wishing you joy in the Winter months ahead, darling, until Spring comes!!!!!!!!!!!!
