I was thinking about this date Nov. 30th as sort of a fork in the road. One way points to Christmas and all that, that entails both secular and religious. The buying of gifts, sending cards, parties, the Christmas tree and all the trimmings, Advent, Christmas Eve services, Christmas day! wide eyed kids looking at all those packages under the tree, most for them. And more...
The other road points to a more laid back time of the year. Being an observer rather then a participant of Christmas. The older we get the more this path seems easier. Why bother with all that rushing around, buying gifts, putting up decorations, Christmas Eve service, sure we will go to an open house or two. Wish everyone a merry Christmas, eat too much, drink too much. But all that other stuff- nah.
Which way to go? Or as someone wrote "Take a path less traveled" and that may make all the difference in the world. Do what gives us the most pleasure, the most satisfaction, the most happiness. Let you heart guide you during this special time of the year. Enjoy!!

Can you get egg nog in Miraflores? If you can, just have some egg nog and let the season flow around you!
You know,I forgot about eggnog. I will have to check if they carry that during Xmas. Plan B, Google it and make it myself.
