And with this week we welcome in December. My son’s birthday is the 4th, at which point there is exactly three weeks to Christmas. Global warming has made this late fall feel like Christmas is months away. Nice for trial running, but not for getting into the holiday spirit. This week will change all that with the start of holiday party season, starting with an office party, children’s party and the aforementioned birthday party. I also need to decide on what cookies I am going to make for my annual cookie exchange.
