Hi AiT,

I remember that thread! And I was thinking of it and you recently, when I saw the season’s first trees, signs, and lights appear in the local mall. Very festive. It’s a season for sales, but it doesn’t appear (to me at least) to be pretending to be something else.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Maybe we will try to make it a regular thing each year.

But only God willing. For who knows where I will be in future years? In Kenya or Papua New Guinea or Latvia or good ol' South Carolina. Could be any of them!! ;-)
