My mother-in-law used to put the ornaments she didn’t like that her husband did, like his plaster-of-paris Jack-o-lantern one he’d made (for Christmas?!) on the side of the tree most likely to get hit hardest the next time the cat knocked the tree over. So they would break. Worked, too, except for that one pumpkin face one.

It was a relaxing holiday, which we needed in the face of the upcoming fiscal year and the surprise! last week that one side of our roof is cracked and needs immediate replacing.
I gave up last year, and the Trek ornaments now have a small tree of their own.
If it’s the same Yo-Yo Ma CD we got in at work, it’s excellent. I’m not a huge classical music fan, but I really enjoyed this one, a holiday-themed piece with a huge variety of styles.
Thinking of you guys often, Bob. Peace, and best wishes for the coming year.

He – or his surrogates – were good enough, I felt.
Wishing you well…

We had our own bittersweet Christmas yesterday. Through it all, we managed to put on a great meal, and everybody had presents.
You and yours were in my thoughts, too. hugs
