Recovering

Christmas is for children. But it is for grown-ups too.
Even if it is a headache, a chore, and a nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts.

Lenora Mattingly Weber

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

Charles Dickens

Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.

Mary Ellen Chase

I like these quotes (which I found here). I think that this year’s Recession Christmas held a different tone for many people, as we emphasized feeling and family over material things; we would do well to savor that throughout the year.

I am recovering today; catching up on all sorts of things. Normal posting (whatever that means) to resume tomorrow.

Hope your holiday was merry and bright!
