Dear Momma -

Mother Nature and Father Time got all out of sync this year as it pertains to the holidays, at least if you ask me. The weather here turned cold just at Thanksgiving, which was a bit of an annoyance as I had to wait until then to take down my autumn wreath and outdoor decorations and put up the Christmas things, and since Thanksgiving ran late this year, the lights will be on only for a few weeks. But believe me, I'm not trying to rush the days or hours any faster than they are already flying by.
