Feeling Winterish

Driving home in the dark drizzle, chilly wind blowing, cold feet-for the first time this year it seems like winter. Tomorrow is December first, Christmas decorations are up in some yards and the colored lights are welcome on this dark afternoon. The holidays are a somber time time for me-too many expectations. Makes me want to hibernate until the sun comes out. Makes me wish for a fireplace and a cup of hot cocoa. Makes me wish for Daddy's house with the wood burning in the stove and fresh hot bread coming out of the oven.
