A TEXAS Yuletide!
“… the days dwindle down to a precious few” (oh how I wish I’d written that) and here we are headed toward Christmas 2009. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I am Yule-tiding in Texas where folks are hoping that – just once – Santa would use Longhorns instead of reindeer on his annual visit. Back to LA in January. To my beloved friends in Scotland, Happy Hogmanay!
