Good morning, and Merry Christmas! Alternately, Happy Tuesday! I hope however you celebrate, whether it’s with family, at the movies, sidled up to your favorite bar, or enjoying a little peace and quiet, you have a wonderful day. This is a difficult time of year for many people, and if you are one of them, please know that you are loved, and I am glad you are here.
(Confidential to anyone who had to stuff their own stocking: you are doing a great job, Mama.)
