"it's commin' on christmas. they're cuttin down trees... putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and glee.. and it don't snow here... it stays pretty green. make a lot of money, then i'm gonna quit this crazy scene...oh, i wish i had a river..."

so i have candles in the fire place and the tree lit... i have hung christmas stockings, and i've strung up lights all over the outside of the house. i have hot apple sider - spiked, but, of course... i think christmas might be for going home. i do this every year i don't spend with my family. but, for now, i am here. in arizona. with seth. is now the time to reflect on the year, just passed? and how so very much is soon to come in the new year, or shall i wait closer to new years? i'll blog after christmas about these years.

mom, i love you. my friends, i love you. merry christmas. i miss you all, terribly. "i can still feel all of that love from here." - wynonna.
