It’s that magical time of year when one day it’s all pumpkins all the time and the next day it’s Christmas. We’re somewhere in the middle, having just enjoyed a week off together from school and work and having to be places first thing in the morning dressed in clothing. Right before the holidays officially kicked off, we had a fun weekend with Aunt Tina, Uncle Scott and twin cousins Jackson and Rylee, followed by Huck competing in an all day Quiz Bowl tournament where his team finished in second place.  These special events were like the delicious appetizers for the huge meal that is currently being served to us every waking minute. This feast has so far included beloved NYC friend Seth here to do TheatreSquared’s Christmas show, the lighting of the town square, many special meals with special people, a turkey hat, hikes, board-game competitions, a couple parades, the arcade with 10 year olds, nine days of sleeping in, sitting around fires, decorating our tree, watching Netflix, finishing books, making our annual Advent wreathe, and the creation of Troy’s 24th annual Christmas card.  Oh, I may be full but I will keep right on eating.
