I had refrained from really celebrating the Christmas holidays due to losses in my immediate family for at least 13 years until this year. I have been thinking that consideration should be given to changing the Christmas and New Year's holidays, "holi-daze".

Of course, part of my current daze has come from being reunited with my adopted daughter after being estranged after eight years (2010 - Christmas miracle #1). With miracle #1, came miracle #2, the gift of a beautiful two year-old grand daughter!! Well just those two events is enough to put anyone in a daze.

However, also with the placement of Christmas and New Years on a Saturday, it has really thrown my inner compass off. So i was thinking that I am probably not alone, and would reach out to anyone else on this fine website that may be feeling similarly.

Wishing everyone on PC a wonderful, joyful and healthful New Year with lots of good friends by their sides ~
