Hey! Merry Christmas. Happy Hannukah. Happy Kwanza. Happy Whatever

Thanks everybody for your wishes, much appreciated.
I wish you all peace and health.

This is my small Christmas tree. The star on the top (hmm, my friends already know the story 🙂) is very dear to me because gifted to my parents a few days after I born, which was in december two weeks before Christmas). It means it is 78 years old! It is a simple object made with iron wire and paper (short after WW2 there was not much money around in Italy) but my parents and I managed to keep it safe and to take out of its box every year.

The best Christmas ever to all you guys and gals out there. It's gonna be a quiet day around the Dog House. My step son is cooking--he's very good at it. Looking forward to whatever he has in mind.

And I'm hoping y'all have a fabulously wonderful 2026. May you all become wealthy, healthy and never act your age. Bless you all.

Another year gone, for better or for worse.. Another year coming to enjoy, to hope for.
Celebrate the day! It's the quiet moment before the crescendo, a day of peace and reflection. Regardless whether you call it Christmas, Hannukah, or whatever.
The moment to consider the ending, and anticipate a beginning.

Happy day whichever you celebrate.
