Two of the three Latshaws who represented in the Nutcracker this year.
Nobody got me a King Rat Nutcracker, though (unlike a small somebody I know).
There’s always Christmas, I suppose.

I was driving home tonight and this song dropped into my mind.
I wrote it down at the piano when I got home and then I went and recorded it.
Unfortunately, the piano is really quiet compared to my voice.
But, yeah. Here it is:
(merry christmas) I really do not miss missing you
christmas lights are shining
and I’m no longer pining for you
those jingle bells are ringing
and boy, I’m no longer singing for you
and I won’t even ask, cause I don’t even care anymore
if you miss me at all, if you regret when you slammed that door
so merry christmas, I really do not miss missing you
yes, it’s a merry christmas now that you’re no longer making me blue
all the family gathers
and it really don’t matter
that you don’t come near
cause I hear the church bells ring–
such a pretty, delicate thing
and it sounds a lot like freedom this year
and I won’t even wonder if you’re standing under
the same snowfall
cause I’ve let you go, and just like all the snow
you were never gonna stay for long…
so merry christmas, I really do not miss missing you
yes, it’s a merry christmas now that you’re no longer making me blue
(good?)-bye.

Why is it called good-bye? What is good about it? Okay, I can think of a few people for whom saying those two words–either literally or figuratively–has been a good thing. But mostly, it is sad. Actually, when I was going through that time in my life that made me think about what it would [...]

It’s always strange when somebody steps out of character for a moment. As a kid, when I overheard my mom say she was really P.O.‘d about something, it was like I’d heard an angel take God’s name in vain, it was so shocking. Because see, I knew what the ‘P’ in ‘P.O.‘d‘ stood for. And [...]

Tonight we broke out the craft table and started coloring. Christmas scenes. The manger. Evergreens and wreaths. And now I am listening to Christmas music and instead of trying to wonder what it all means, I am just letting it happen. The transformation that comes from believing in something greater than yourself. The small inkling [...]
goals, or not.

Lately I have been possessed with this desire to learn to sew. But I just read in a magazine that “people who tell others their newest goals too soon often end up not doing them. It is better to start working on the goal, and after having done it consistently, talk about it.” Okay. So [...]
