Saying Good-bye to Christmas

It's time to put it all away. Tomorrow, the tree will come down, and the ribbons will be stored away till next year.

It's hard to believe that 2009 is just upon us and the snow is already reaching higher than the porch. (That's about three feet.) In the past, we've had winters where we can literally walk to the roof using the snowbank in front of the house. Only time will tell what this season brings us. (I'm wishing for an early spring!)

Lunch today with my friend, Kati, reminded me of a favorite song by Adirondack folksinger, Dan Berggren. The song is called "Seize the Day." You can listen to it here.

Now, seize the day, squeeze every minute from the hour ... You have the power.

It was a good christmas and a good start to a good year. Good-bye christmas tree, you brought light to my living room again. Good-bye fuzzy stockings may you always be full. Finally good-bye christmas candy, so were so sweet and yet my thighs are glad to see you go.
