****Christmas School**** Hello Friends! It’s been awhile… Is it already November? The warmth and joy of the holidays are just beginning to stir in our home. The Christmas music is playing, the candles are flickering, the first baking has begun.   I’m sipping some hot, spicy tea and making lists.   This week is one of my favorite weeks of the year.  Does that sound odd? The week before Thanksgiving is kind of the calm before the storm.   It’s a lovely week to me.   There’s still time to sit and reflect, and make preparations for all the sweet memories yet to be made in the swirl of the next month. …
