The Most Wonderful* Time of the Year

Season's greetings, gang. It's certainly starting to feel a lot like Christmas up here - today's high is expected to be about five below.

I have a love-hate relationship with this time of year. The days are too damn short, it's cold, and I'm already sick of the chintzy commercial facade of the holidays before December even starts. But if I can get past the trappings and expectations to the chewy caramel center of it all, it's all good.

I'm getting there, but then something like this (abandon all hope, ye who click this link) pops up and almost ruins it all. But only almost, because my underlying foundation of joy can't be shaken. Here's hoping you can all share that joy.

Rejoice,
Regis
