I stretch Christmas out as long as I can, too and never start taking down decorations until at LEAST Epiphany! *g*

No regrets. Some sadness, missing Mum - it was so much fun to be with her this time of year and to be in Toronto, visiting with my brother, sister and their families, seeing movies in theatres five minutes away, visiting the local Pioneer Village to see how people here celebrated 150 years ago around here. All of this I shall miss for the rest of my life, I'm sure.

But that's the way of things, whether we like it or not. We shall make new traditions next year with our first grandchild. =>}

Here's to the future for both of us indeed!!!

Cheers! =>}
