Even though we did pass surfers on the way to the beach in the balmy southern California weather, our family celebrated Christmas in a very traditional way, complete with turkey, corn pudding, sweet potatoes and all the trimmings. Two of the images that I really like from the day are one of my daughter-in-law Cindy with her sons, Enzo and Hudson and one of me telling the grandchildren about Olive, the Other Raindeer. If you aren't familiar with the story, Olive is a little dog who thinks that she is a raindeer and she "flies" with Santa and his sleigh. She saves the day with her powerful doggie nose when Santa and the other raindeer can't see in the fog. She smells the cookies waiting for them at the North Pole and everyone gets home safe and sound. If you haven't read it, it is truly charming and I highly recommend it.
My best wishes to you as we bring 2014 to an end.
