Thoughts of Sugar Plums and Dreidels……

July 22, 2007 | 1 Comment

and thoughts of the number of gifts I want to make for the winter holiday season. I say holiday season because I give gifts for Channukah, Christmas, Divali, and, in my family of origin, New Year’s Day. So, please don’t bash me for my terminology. I’m pretty much ‘equal opportunity’ when it [...]
