Wonderful Mail Day!

I just went upstairs and got the post.

In it were:

1. A lovely/perfect panda Christmas card from kateri_thinks

2. The next volume of Fables: a comic series about fairy tale characters living in modern New York (highly recommended!)

3. A DVD of Buckaroo Banzai

4. A Christmas present from Jeannie! She sent me a two-part wooden yin-yang candle holder, with candles. How did she know that that symbol has become so important to me over the past few months? It's kind of funny: last year she gave me a water gift, this year it's fire and earth.

I'm happy.

My daughter is home now, so it's time to marshal my resources and be present for her.

Hugs to all!

Happiness Is. . .

. . . a daughter who is very good at wrapping presents and making cool bows for them and who is willing wrap my gifts for me!!

She asks me to choose the wrapping and ribbon, and she takes care of the rest.
Except for the To/From tag.
That I do.

Such a relief!
I'm terrible at wrapping presents. . .

The dining room table is getting piled high with presents.
It's a lovely sight!
