Wednesday will be the longest night and the shortest day of the year. Time to snuggle under a blanket with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate. We are in the middle of Hannukah, which ends the day after Christmas. Is it a coincidence that these holy days are celebrated right when our distant ancestors were praying the sun to return?
Meanwhile, one of the reindeer has called in sick, and our one-year-old puppy Sammie is in tryouts for a last-minute substitute on Christmas Eve.
