Holiday Question:

What's your favorite thing about the holidays (Thanksgiving to Christmas)? A few of mine:

-Now that I'm an empty-nester, "my kids coming home"
-Roaring fires that crackle in a way gas fireplaces envy
-Seeing your breath in the cold air
-Eggnog
-Costco tenderloin used for many meals
-Reading "A Child's Christmas in Wales" out loud to our dogs
-Long walks remembering, since holidays help mark the time of memory
-Our Christmas Eve service up on Queen Anne

How about you?

- Awesome holiday movies: It's a Wonderful Life, Elf, A Christmas Story
- Renewing spiritual goals, commitments

- Holiday parties with friends
