Heading out to my family for Christmas, and there is a fair number of mountains between here and there. They are forecasting 6 inches of snow here on the day I need to return...hopefully they are wrong.

Dear family - looking forward greatly to seeing you, let's have a stress-free Christmas, ok? This will be the first time in decades (literally) that I've been home for the holiday. I don't want it to be my last...

Wishing all here a very happy holiday!
