Merry Christmas

I am about to head south to spend Christmas with my mother and sisters and their families. I can't wait for that cornbread dressing and turkey and card playing and laughter and singing in the kitchen. If you would like to read about how we have traditionally celebrated Christmas, you can find it here.

Merry Christmas to all.

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death
