Huckleberries Online

Wild Card 12.23.10

My kids call today Christmas Eve Eve. I think they do that just to remind me of all I have left to do. Fudge-making, present-wrapping and sending out last-minute Christmas cards to people I didn't know were sending me Christmas cards that I now feel obligated to send Christmas cards to.
It may be a tense 24-hrs.

Some of yesterday's fill-in-the blank responses re: what do you most want for Christmas moved me. LastDem's hope for the troops to come home-- CdaMom's wish for her husband's safe return, and kamm's yearning for solitude.

Some things can be wrapped in paper and placed under the tree. As for me, I'll just settle for a little peace and goodwill in blogland today.

Here's your wild card.
