It’s somewhat surprising when you think that sharing tiny rubber ducks as a general practice is something grown adults will participate in… or is it? Don’t we all want the same thing? Peace, joy, love, goodwill.

The Christmas Gathering
The middle is always where the good stuff lives whether you are talking about cookies, parties, or life and it’s where the memories are made.
Gathering the Un-Gathered
Unlike Thanksgiving, Christmas is an entire season and I couldn’t call my friends to ask if we could spend Thanksgiving to New Year’s with them, could I? Well, maybe I could, but I decided the grown-up thing to do was to change my perspective.
Holiday Comfort and Joy
I have three words for you: Hallmark Christmas Movies.
I know they are dreadful, aren’t they? And I now love it.
Friends, there was a time when I derisively mocked other family members for their love of all things Hallmark, particularly holiday movies. The movies are trite, predictable, and far-fetched.
Are you a Grinch?
Take me, for example. I like Christmas, and I enjoy the holiday festivities, but I don’t start decorating and listening to Christmas music on November 1. In comparison to, say, my sisters, I am, in fact, a Grinch. They are looking for reasons to decorate before Halloween candy goes on sale.
Changing Up Tradition
It turned out that having Thanksgiving on a different day didn’t feel any different. The world didn’t stop spinning, a hole didn’t open up in the universe, and we not only survived but had a blast. While we had still planned on having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, we decided that nobody cared, and we just ate leftovers and watched movies all day.
