Holiday Snippets

My theory is that all the Christmas ornaments that didn't sell last year were shipped back to China, swashed with gold paint (probably toxic) and glitter, marked up, and shipped back to us again for sale this year.

I stare at the fire and think it is no wonder the ancients worshiped it. Think of its power. Fire provides light and heat. It consumes whatever it touches. It can kill us. We do not control it--it controls us. We both depend on it and fear it.

Times are tight, but Fiorella refuses to cut back on charitable donations. Tight times are when donations are most needed.

Fiorella will, though, review her Christmas card situation next year. She's been designing her own for years, to save money and vent her creative impulses, but this year she was blindsided--and staggered--by how much her vanity cost.
