Oh, lights and stars. It seems that someone has been into my blog! Either that or this thing does not work the way I thought. It said I received a comment, but now... where is it? And after the day I have had, I was looking forward to getting a nice, cheerful comment. Ah, well. Sometimes gifts fall off the sleigh, I guess.

And, yes, for those of you who are wondering, one of the lights on the Christmas Tree has gone out. I admit I felt a little grinchy the past couple of days. I have seen such a rise in the number of complaint mail coming through here that it has gotten me a little down.

Do not fret, my friends, you know we lose a light or two every year. Sugar Plum and the Random Acts of Christmas team are helping to cheer me up. And it is working! I am feeling much, much better after a new rendition of "Joy to the World."

Mrs. Claus is also joining in the cause, hohoho. She has worked tirelessly to put the finishing touches on her gingerbread recipe. I love gingerbread! I cannot imagine anyone who dislikes it, though, so... Well, it is calling my name... Or is that my stomach talking to me? Hohoho. It sounds like a Polar bear right before a meal. Time to go!
