Wishing you all the joy and wonder of the season.

We’ll be back blogging on January 2nd.

Gulp.

2013. How did that happen?

A big thank you to all who visited my blog — checked out my posts — in 2012. I look forward to seeing you in the new year.

A special shout out to our troops serving around the globe, and to their families who will be looking at an empty seat at their table this Christmas.

Know that you are wished home. Know that you are not forgotten. Know that your safety is prayed for daily. Know that you are cared for, not just at Christmas, but each and every moment that you are not here with us.

A Merry Christmas to each and every one of you and your families.

And safe travels to you all!
