Farewell To Politics Until The 26th

Dec 23rd, 2010

I have spent quite a bit of time over the last week finding fun Christmas stuff for my blog. That's right, kids... there will be no politics in this space until the 26th. 

If I can tear myself away from the fights for a couple of days, you can too. I will be posting "the happy" for 2 days straight.  

Be kind and decent. Give love in abundance and treasure every fleeting moment. For those of you who will be so very blessed to have Christmas morning with your children, remember that yours will be the greatest gift of all.
