New Years Day… the traditional wrap up to the holiday season. Parades, football, and one more day when you can indulge in snacking and not feel guilty.

I was thinking about our family’s 2009 holiday season, now come and almost gone already, and I was envisioning words to describe this wonderful season, despite the fact that this year ours was peppered with unpleasant familial dramatics.
