Nostalgic

In this week’s hustle and flurry of last minute gifts, mailing and cooking, I find that I’m as nostalgic as I am busy. Since I suspect you’re putting the final touches on your holidays—winding up Hanukkah, prepping for Christmas, or simply happy the Solstice is tomorrow—I’ll keep this post short. 😉

I don’t miss the “good ol’ days” as much as I do making new nightgowns for the girls (and for their American Girl dolls 😊 ).

Nights of “some assembly required” and staging Santa’s cookies.  

Full body hugs.

So where are you? 

Minimizing the trappings? Frantically finishing? Happy with the whole process?
