A week before Christmas and in typical LA weather mode, we're out in shorts and tee - shirts with blue sky days. No, it's not snow in Central Park and all that says about Christmas, but we'll survive somehow. Hope your family gatherings in whatever form they take are wonderful and remember to think about all you have in friends, family, accomplishments and future challenges rather than dwelling on the negative and the occassional schmuck / intruder bent on ruining the day for everyone else.
