Winter Retreat

Dear Readers,
Due to the maniacal pace of this year's holiday season, I have decided to take off from December 26th-January 2nd. Technically the Jewish community should be booked with Hannukah candle lightings and latke bashes....but just like our Christian neighbors, we find ourselves knee deep in invites to Christmas parties, dinners, shopping, and the like.

Naturally I must join in the fun.

Therefore, after tomorrow's (promised) entry with the answers for last week's guided reading questions, I will say sayonara for a few days. Whether you celebrate the Festival of Lights, the latest Eid, Dawali, Navidad, or the winter solstice I hope your holiday is everything you want it to be.

Oh, and the best part.....Happy New Year!

Hasta 2006.
