Christmas Greetings from Denman Island
December 24th is my favourite day of the holidays. For me, it’s the calm before the storm. The day when I concede that if it (insert: baking/decorating/shopping) hasn’t gotten done, it’s not going to.
Time to grab a nog, hunker down by the hearth, and relax.
As 2019 winds down, I’m reminded how very fortunate I am. Fortunate to have a loving family. Fortunate to have friends to share a glass of wine and a laugh with. Fortunate to have a warm home and food in the cupboards. All this, and more I wish for you this holiday season and always.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, winter solstice, Kwanzaa, New Years and everything else you celebrate!
Thank you for being a part of my good fortune. I’m grateful for your continued support, enthusiasm and the small kindnesses that make my days brighter. Christmas Greetings from my home to yours.
Cheers,
Jo-Anne

Merry Christmas to you as well. We’re changing our traditions this year, and celebrating with my son-in-law’s family tonight. The day’s busy-ness starts soon. Enjoy your holiday.
