We’ll soon be making Thermoses (Thermi?) of spiked cocoa to take with us on our annual Christmas Eve walk up Canyon Road, shivering and singing snippets of carols and gazing at the farolitas lining the road and the buildings. Dinner in town will follow.

I haven’t wrapped,
I haven’t sewed,
I haven’t packed,
I hope the road’s not closed.

And pack,
I’ll see you all when I get back.
