I’m popping in today for some Christmas cheer. Grab a hot cocoa or a hot toddy and let’s have some cheerful, heartwarming fun with quotes about this holiday.

Holiday Spirits Beyond
Do you ever have moments of melancholy during the holiday season? I’m not talking about despair over a recent loss. I mean at any time during a regular season that’s going well and as planned. Do you ever get just a split second of sadness? This is probably more common for women, but maybe men sometimes get this, too?
Homage to History
I posted the true history of our American Thanksgiving in 2012 and thought it was time to share it again. I’ve copied and pasted it below.
I’m Just Gonna Say It
So, I debated what to say here today, or if to say anything at all. Depending on who reads it, this could be dangerous.
Where Did Christmas Go?
I haven’t spent much time online or in social media over the holidays and haven’t been in the blogging world. I’m sure you understand that the holiday season is a busy one.

Since Thanksgiving is this week, the below excerpt from my novel Whit’s End shows the Whitaker family dysfunction regarding that holiday. Perhaps some people can relate.

Random Thought
Ghosts of Christmas’ Past
It’s been said that many people get depressed during the holidays. I, too, have been known to feel a bit of melancholy during this time of year. So, being the analytical person that I am, naturally I look deeper.
