		<description><![CDATA[During the year, I seldom make cookies. There is only one person in the house who really can afford to eat cookies, and then there&#8217;s always the mother&#8217;s dilemma about sugar and teeth. But in an attempt to get in the spirit, after three years of getting in a funk or a panic about Christmas, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not sure what happened. The good part is that I also stopped buying Christmas cards. I do love a good card, though. Tomorrow, if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Why do people put up lights?” The lad, he asks a good question. I know his is based on the silly ads from Target this year, combined with a green sensibility that he’s gaining from the last ten years of science education and marketing about climate change. But it’s an opportunity to point out to [...]]]></description>

With all the talk about dads in the media, esp. commercials and advertising trying to get one to BUY BUY BUY something ANYTHING for Dear Old Dad, I have been rattling around in my mind about my own dad who has indeed departed this mortal coil. The pangs of sadness don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
