Some people are so besotted with their own whining that they wouldn't recognize happiness if it bit them on the butt. As the holidays approach, they spread joylessness in a manner that makes Scrooge look like a wannabe. These people are not allowed to cross my threshold. Grinches be gone!
I look forward to the holidays every year. My halls are decked with favorites from the past, the only new to me items this year are two snowball votive candle holders - a $2.00 charity shop purchase. This week I baked shortbread sprinkled with colored sugar, froze a batch of peppermint stick ice cream, and tonight will welcome friends with cranberry champagne cocktails and baked brie when they come to view my decorations.
What these friends bring to me are glad hearts and warm smiles. Welcome gifts, especially at this time of year.
However you celebrate the holidays, may you be filled with joy; and to all, a New Year of peace and prosperity.
