Warmest thoughts and cozy wishes going out to one and all.    I wish you an extra gentle Christmas with moments of sweetness, peace, and a bit of unexpected sparkle.

Enclosed is my favorite winter verse written by Shel Silverstein that I throw out there each winter because it always me smile and the kids love it . . . hope you catch a smile too . . .

"I made myself a snowball

as perfect as couold be,

I thought I'd keep it as a pet

and let it sleep with me;

I made it some pajamas

and a pillow for its head,

then last night it ran away,

but first it wet the bed!"

You are all awesome and it is a special gift for me to be in your company,

 J.
