Greetings from Planet 9

Okay, so I haven’t written in forever and a day. Do you care? Have you spent days questioning what happened to ye ol Rantingmama? I’m guessing no. But, if you have, let me say in all sincerity, "Oh how sweet you are."
With that out of the way, let’s play catch up.
First, Christmas and Hanukkah ROCKED! We had such fun. We saw friends and family and we played games. Best of all….. IT SNOWED Christmas Eve. Did it matter that I’d been sick as a dog for 2 weeks? NO! Did it matter that I had to work right up until 1 P.M. Christmas Eve? NO! Did it matter that I was running around town trying to find gifts at the last minute only to find every store was closed? NO! It was snowing and it was FUN! My daughter and I stood out in parking lots of closed stores catching flakes on our tongues. The magic stayed with us as we went to the only store open, the grocery store, and found everything we needed. We went home, had snowball fights and built a tiny snowman. At 10:30 P.M. Christmas Eve we were still out playing in it. Not one prezzie was wrapped, we had no heat in our house and by golly, we were happy.
My daughter thinks some child wished for a white Christmas and they got their wish early. If you know that person please thank them for us. Oh the joy of seeing the face of a 7 year old girl who has never seen snow. That was my present.
So how have your holidays been?
