A Thousand Times No

For months, we’ve been bombarded with advertisements encouraging us to purchase gift items — the things “they really want” — to make the holiday season go right, or go well.  Of course, the things that really matter can’t be bought in a store, fit into a box, or tied up with a bow.

I have the continued good health and safety of my nearest and dearest…and I have snow as far as the eye can see.

Goodness!
