It is a fine winter day in Nova Scotia, just below zero, clear and sunny. The turkey is in the oven, and my family is rushing around in tightening circles pulling preparations together for the big meal tonight. But at this moment, I have a lull, and I would like to use it to send greetings to all of you -- it is a good day to remember that it would be a sad life without friends in it.
To all who celebrate it: Merry Christmas!
