Job,

I've stumbled into the eggnog cauldron and am still floating inside it! All's good here in Wonkaland! laugh Super duper busy with festivites and all.

Had to break some tension in my family. After certain family members had left my grandmother's house for far flung visits, I gathered my stepmother, aunt [her sister], and grandmother [her Mom] in a small, tight circle with arms around each other...they all looked at me wondering what I was up to...then I said, in my best Wonka voice, "Our fun just got started!" Then all burst out laughing real hard. Just like that...the tension went poof! Buh-bye...

Merry Christmas to all and enjoy this special time with your loved ones! Especially what's real to you.

Please do carry on...
