I feel holidays in the air. They are coming, and I realize this year how much they mean to me. The wonderful excitement of Christmas. It's the bond of Christians celebrating Jesus' birth. Singing carols. Baking. Lots of Christmas carols. Green cookies. Winter coats. Snow. Candles. Peace. Fellowship. Snowflakes. Big ones.

First is Thanksgiving, though. Family. Hunting. Pecan pie (and pumpkin). Thankfulness. Bonding through food and fellowship. Grandparents. Cranberries. Good books.
