It is January. I like January. Long dark nights and short days, a faint sun on the horizon, skiing in fresh white snow, reading a book by the fire, having a good time with friends. Christmas is over. I don't like Christmas. A mid-winter vacation; yes, that's nice. But we don't need a pile of crap wrapped in paper under a tree and a small Jewish boy wrapped in a cloth in a crib to have that. It's almost a year till next Christmas. That's one of the things I like about January
I have to confess I love Christmas. Now the kids are heading back to college, and the long gray (wet) days of an Oregon January draw in, I shall look forward to seeing your bright snow pictures to cheer me up.
