I love how life slows down this time of year. There's still lots of hustling and bustling, mostly for retailers and shoppers, but come tomorrow evening a good many folks begin ... to ...  slow ...  down. We aren't traveling anywhere and no one but our 20 year-old daughter will be visiting. Just the five of us and two cats. The larder is almost full. Only a few items to pick up from local shops.

Sip wine.

Trim the tree.

Make these.

Watch shows.

Sleep in.

But for tonight, all is quiet.

Have a good one.
