Fuzzy-Warm Feelings

We have less than two weeks until the midwinter celebrations for most people will commence.

Being this close to such a widespread, popular, highly commercialized, bright and shiny deadline can bring some people kinda close to 'the edge,' you know what I mean? Or maybe that's just me... ahem.

Do you find yourself stressed about what you're expected to contribute to the holiday feast? Worried about seeing that certain branch of family? Pinching pennies to finally finish checking off that gift list?

Maybe you need a hand. Maybe you need an aspirin. Maybe you need a hug.

I may not be able to do much, but I can send you a hug of sorts, because if there's one thing we're not short on over here, it's impromptu displays of fuzzy-warm feelings... even if they end up like this...

...and this just about says it all, doesn't it? At least the thought was there, and around this time of year, you you shouldn't be worried about anything more.

Hang in there, and happy almost-holidays.
